No it does not seem to allow it, regardless the software from the manufacture is not bootable, and requires the use of the boot/ root floppies.
To prove to the initial guys the keyboard was fine I used a generic NT IDE drive I have and while NT did not love it at all. The controller was running fine using the keyboard for over a half a hour before I shut it down.
I have now tried all four sets of boot/root disks I have and same results with all.
I have another SCSI adapter that is identical coming in tomorrow to completely eliminate this as the root cause.
At this point it no longer feels it is the SCSI controller. I really feel like I am missing something simple and am just being stupid. Ill be honest its been 7 years since I touched SCO unix to say I am rusty is a understatement.

AIC(4) BSD/i386 Kernel Interfaces Manual AIC(4)
NAME
aic -- Adaptec AIC-6260 and AIC-6360 SCSI driver
SYNOPSIS
device aic
In /boot/device.hints:
hint.aic.0.at="isa"
DESCRIPTION
The aic driver provides support for the Adaptec AIC-6260 and AIC-6360 SCSI controller chips. Many systems that use these controller chips do
not have a boot ROM and therefore cannot be booted from.
HARDWARE
The adapters supported by the aic driver include:
o Adaptec AHA-1505 (ISA)
o Adaptec AHA-1510A, AHA-1510B (ISA)
o Adaptec AHA-1520A, AHA-1520B (ISA)
o Adaptec AHA-1522A, AHA-1522B (ISA)
o Adaptec AHA-1535 (ISA)
o Creative Labs SoundBlaster SCSI host adapter (ISA)
o Adaptec AHA-1460, AHA-1460B, AHA-1460C, AHA-1460D (PC Card)
o Adaptec AHA-1030B, AHA-1030P (PC98)
o NEC PC-9801-100 (PC98)
SEE ALSO
aha(4), ahb(4), ahc(4), cd(4), ch(4), da(4), intro(4), sa(4)
BUGS
The driver does not work well with multiple devices on the SCSI bus. The driver works well with devices like CDROMs and Tape drives. The
driver works not so well with disk drives. The PC Card version appears to work better than the ISA version, but that may be due to differing
levels of testing of the devices.
