buy a prebuilt GreaseWeazle board), but provides completely open source
hardware which doesn't require the use of the Cypress Windows-based tools that
the FluxEngine does. Luckily, the FluxEngine software supports it almost
out-of-the-box --- just plug it in and nearly everything should work. You will
need to tell FluxEngine which serial port the GreaseWeazle is plugged
in with:
```
fluxengine read ibm -o ibm.img --usb.greaseweazle=/dev/ttyACM3
```
On Windows, use `COM1`/`COM2`/`COM3` etc for the port.
