My understanding is that the 3b2 format is different than for the 3b1.

'Wonder if Emmett Grey might be willing to hack a "3b2.tools" thingie
for the 3b1, at some point? I realize it's awful pushy to even suggest
this, since he has already contributed so very much to neat.stuff.3b1, but
he sure would be the person well-equipped to do the job.

Ahhh........Emmett, is this a big chore, at least to get read & write between
the two machines?
