Your need is ambiguously stated.  Do you want to:

1) Mount a Windows share onto a Unix mount point

or

2) Export a Unix directory for use under Windows on a particular drive
letter?

The first is not possible on SCO, based on everything I've read; mounting a
samba share requires kernel support.  Nothing I've read indicates SCO has
such support.

The second simply requires editing smb.conf and [re]starting smbd.  If you
need this option, `man smb.conf` for options, or borrow from the sample
shares (or both).  Once exported, map in Windows as you would any UNC.

Why are you moving to 5.0.6 as "new", when 5.0.7 has been out for years,
anyway?
