I'd like to add something.

You never described what happened when you attempted to install XP to
the hard drive while attached to the controller card...
After the first restart during the installation it ended up with blue
screen
with advices like virus, etc. No advice was adequate to the situation.
It happened either when we tried to update from WinNT4 and when we tried
to
install WinXP without updating WinNT4.
The above was when we tried to install WinXP from WinNT4.
When we tried to start from the WinXP on CD then the HDD wasn't seen at
all.

Basically, setup PC bios to boot from scsi.
There isn't such possibility in our PC BIOS (it's an old one).

Not sure what you mean by "old". The PC I was referring to previously was
of 1998 vintage Tyan motherboard with updated Award 1998 bios. I've still
got it. Running Window Millenium on it. I won't run XP on it for many
reasons, its not fast enough, and I don't want any internet connection to
it, not sure about hardware drivers for it.
