I temporarily faced the same dilemma as you have, with my IC-2820H in my 
car in my garage.  As I mentioned in a previous post, you can install 
the (free) Digi PortServer support on either Linux or Windows (I did 
both), and then you can directly access (via the Internet) one of my 
ID-880H radios for testing.  Or, you can buy one of the boxes and 
remotely access your own ID-880H in your car.  Or both.

Either from the comfort of your own living room (grin).

All my radios (except for the ID-51A) have their serial ports 
permanently available via the Internet using Digi PortServer boxes.

Well, I'm still using CVS for my own personal software development. I've 
been planning (when one is retired, one's set of "plans for the future" 
increase exponentially) to move to a newer system for some time, so I'm 
looking at alternatives.  SVN was the initial candidate, but that now 
seems out of favor compared to GIT/HG. Since I like tools that run 
*WELL* on multiple platforms, I'm leaning toward HG.  Still, either the 
learning curve is steep, or I haven't yet found good documentation.
