Correct, the new default AppleDouble format is AD2.
For many reasons it's a bad idea to share the same volume with 1.6 and afp3,
however there's an "adouble:v1" option in AppleVolume.default.
IIRC if set afp3-dev should use AD1 files just like 1.6, no?

Absolutely correct. Just curious, why would you want to use nohex on an utf8
volume anyway?
