you can get the HBA disk from SCO's site. is is the SLS oss463b supplement. it is actually the updated boot disk for 5.0.4. the link for that site is http://www.sco.com/support/ftplists/osr5list.html just scroll down till you find it.
not sure about the second part of your question. i suppose you could but i dont know if it will boot to NT still.
