There is a complete set of documentation available for purchase (seven
volumes, in total) which present information which allow you to design
a circuit pack to plug into either a 3B2 or a 3B5 (also applies to the
3B15) and develop a driver which can be installed on the appropriate
system to talk to your board.  I am sorry that I do not have the select
codes at hand just now, but they are listed in the document catalog.
