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.

Actually, if you install the SQL Server 2005 on the machine you can connect using the SNAC provider instead of using the MDAC stack. Although you should be up-to-date in the case another application needs parts of the MDAC stack.

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.
