    Installation and usage
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    1) Copy contents of libs/* in LIBS:, devs/* in DEVS: and classes/* in SYS:Classes.
    2) Then run in a shell, as first program (important!), helios_rom_start.
    => this program shall be run only one time, running twice causes troubles as it install
    many tasks and load classes each time.

    => Helios and others parties send some debug output throught the serial line.
    If your computer has been run with RamDebug option you can see also them using
    the program LogTool.

    3) Now each time a device is connected you can see bus reset and enumeration steps
    by looking serial line debug ouput.
    If a compatible SBP2 device is connected and recognized, SBP2 class auto-mount all partitions.

    WHERE IS THE PROGRAM LOG TOOL??????
    WHERE IS SERIAL LINE DEBUG OUTPUT?????
    WHERE ARE THE SBP2 PARTITIONS????????

    - Normally Helios should not be removed of the system after run.
    But if you're know what you do, unmount all SBP2 partitions and run program helios_remove.
    Finish the removal by running shell command "Flushlib sbp2* helios* ohci*".
    You may launch it many time because the internal Helios GarbageCollector task is trigged
    only each 3 seconds.

    Downloaded and ran program log tool.
    It shows that Helios is active on the system but
    1. How do you mount this external firewire drive?
    2. It was formatted as FAT32 on the Mac side of my dual boot system
    3 . It appears as a firewire volume on the Mac Desktop named HOPE
    What has to done to have it appear on Ambient?
