Floppy and DVD/CDRW Drive in same laptop bay

Does anyone know how I get SuSE 8.2 to allow me the privilege of using both the floppy and CDRW in the same bay on my Panasonic T-72 laptop. I currently have the CDRW/DVD drive in the bay and it works great, but there are those occasions when I need the floppy, which goes into that bay also, what would be the procedure for swapping and activating so I have access to both? Thanks in Advance
