I'm working on it. The next firmware update will feature a "kiosk mode",
where you can program the player to always skip the setup screen.

A 75Mhz laptop is definitely fast enough for this.

In standby mode the player uses roughly 250ma @ 5V, or 1.25W. When playing
music, with the display on, it's 500 to 600ma.  I think a
typical RV battery has a capacity of 1KWH, enough to run the SliMP3 for
over a month. This is a *very* rough guess - I don't know much about
RVs, but yours might have way more battery capacity that that.
