Yup, that should work.  You'll just have to play around with the  
jumpers to figure out how to select the additional FD-502 drive as  
drive one.  (Unfortunately, my notes on this are packed away, so I  
can't tell you offhand.)  The FD-502 5-1/4" drives are much like  
3-1/2" drives:  same power connector (smaller molex-style) and built- 
in termination (so you don't need to bother remembering to terminate  
the last drive on the cable).
