You just download the version you want from the Microsoft Download Center and install it. I believe that MDAC 2.8 is currently at SP1, not SP2 as you've indicated. You can find MDAC 2.8 SP1 here.

|||When installing SQL Server 2005 (any edition) on Windows 2000 there actually is a minimum version of MDAC that is required, although I can't recall what version is required, but 2.8 SP1 will certainly qualify since it's the newest. I don't know why this requirement exists only on Windows 2000.
