It is possible, but not easy. You must obtain a second floppy controller with adjustable address lines. And then you must also run a device driver to access the extra floppy drives (hopefully, one will come with the controller). Such controllers are available, but you have to hunt for them. You may have to special order it, and it will probably not be cheap. -- Theodore A.
