I can certainly try to shed some light on this.  About 8 years ago
this type of drive, well an Everex 20Meg drive, was installed in my
father's IBM PC at a local computer store (I took great delight in
watching it being installed, for I was an utter novice at the time).
It too had 2 360k full height drives and 256k memory.  Anyway, the point
is is that yes the PC should take the drive, providing you have a
hard drive contoller for it.  I would also recommend you buy a 1/2 height
blank face plate, costs about $2, to cover the hole left by the 
full height drive(assuming it is full height) for both aesthic and 
dust-free reasons.
