Sounds like a great idea.

I can provide the following *good* firmware infos:

===

In order:

1. (as root) mfiutil show adapter | grep Name
2. grep 'mfi[[:digit:]]\{1,\}:.*\(vers\|Board\)' /var/run/dmesg.boot
3. (as root) mfiutil show firmware | grep Pack # only required on older cards

Your mileage may vary, as I'm told that these product versions (9267-8i) may
not exist outside of VICOR (but rather were custom models that can handle
either SAS or SATA using internal MiniSAS break-out cables).
