I don't believe so--Dell sells the Optiplex floppy with a formed cable as a single
unit. Here's a photo:

While the second floppy select probably exists on some pin in the support chipset, I
don't think that Dell ever intended that more than one floppy would be used and so
probably never wired the header for it.
I suppose one could install an IDE LS120 as a second drive or just plug in one of those
brain-dead USB drives (I've seen a USB driver for DOS somewhere).

I'm
curious about the comment about second drive support missing. I
am curious why the
addition of a proper multiheaded cable doesnt
fix this?
they actually dont drive the drive select in the cable?
Just curious
