With the Presentations package it is very easy to put any scales on any of
the axes. The only requirement is that there must be a 1-1 mapping between
the scale and the underlying plot coordinate. You can also completely
control the tick values and format. Here is the example from the html link.
(Putting the x^3 scale on the right is much better than the other way
around.)
Needs["Presentations`Master`"]
f1[x_] := x^3;
f2[x_] := Sqrt[x];
yrightticks =
CustomTicks[#/35 &, {0, 70, 10, 5},
CTNumberFunction -> (Style[#, FontColor -> Red] &)];
yleftticks = CustomTicks[Identity, {0, 2, .5, 5}];
Draw2D[
{Red, Draw[f1[x]/35, {x, 0, 4}],
Black, Draw[f2[x], {x, 0, 4}]},
Frame -> True,
FrameLabel -> {{f2[x], f1[x]}, {x, None}},
RotateLabel -> False,
FrameTicks -> {{yleftticks, yrightticks}, {Automatic, Automatic}},
PlotLabel -> "Plotting Two Functions with Different Scales",
ImageSize -> 500]
