Our adapters can be had either way.  There are kits and there are bare boards.
The official distributors also sell the software separately.  If you want
I can post the offical list of distributors and 800 numbers for them.
About the only time I would buy a bare board would be;  for use under some
UNIX, for development purposes, or if you only intend to use the adapter
under DOS without any virtual memory utilities/programs and only want to have
2 disk drives.
