You know what I meant.  Having written this screen, I am aware of where
there are and are not tabs.

What you see on the simple screen is the Basic tab from the advanced
screen.

Then perhaps the text there needs to be changed.

You did not address my biggest complaint, which is that this patch will
cause biosraid devices to appear in one place on the simple screen and a
completely different place on the advanced screen.  And, you know people
are going to go back and forth between the two to see what exciting
feature they are missing.
