John,

Generally speaking, you can't add and internal 5.25 drive to a PS/2.  You can
add an external drive (IBM makes a 360K DSDD, 3rd parties make that and a 1.2M
DSHD).  Installing the drive adapter is as easy as following the instructions
that come with the drive/adapter (instructions, gee, what a concept!).  After 
you install the adapter and connect the drive, run the reference diskette that
came with the system, and use the configure option so the system will recognize
the drive, then reboot.  I've installed several external 5.25" drives here and
have had NO problems.  Hope this helps.

Chuck
