The disk controller in the PS-2 can only support two floppy disk drives.
If you have a 5.25" drive, you (temporarily or permanently, depending on
how they're connected) lose the use of one 3.5" drive.

I don't have any idea what kind of floppy disk controller is used in the
Tandy, but it's certainly possible that it can only accomodate two
drives.  The standard IBM PC/XT type floppy disk controller can handle
up to four.
