   Well, this future upgrade had me going through my archived stuff regarding the Supermicro X9SCM-F mainboard, since the OPNSense firewall uses one. I should turn off the IPMI/BMC on that, since I have not used it in over five years... It's not even hooked up, either. It merely adds ~2 minutes of boot time to the entire process...
   
   Anyway, found some missing BMC firmware and one newer BMC firmware on the Internet. I am also obtaining the rest of the driver CDs, since an earlier attempt was done when I didn't even have enough space in general.

     Forgot to mention: found one questionable file (possibly slightly corrupt). It was a driver CD image. Moved that one to 'questionable'.
     
     One BCM/IPMI firmware was repacked and a few third-party source files were loose, so I repacked them into RAR files.
     
     There actually was one official BMC/IPMI .zip file that was packed a little over a week before the known good checksum one, so it was moved to 'old'. The files themselves matched the ones in the known good one, too.

     Found out the other old drive CD image is questionable as well. Going to have to re-download it. So both 2021-era driver CD image downloads have mismatched checksums...
