There is no problem adding a second hard drive for Linux.  This
is infact exactly what I have done.  You can use LILO, the Linux
Loader, to choose which system to use at boot time.  You can also
use the floppy drive to boot Linux and the first or second hard
drive to boot another system.  It is really pretty easy if you
follow the on line instructions.  -- d
