As I mentioned, the drive is useable by both the AmigaDOS and MS-DOS at 
the SAME time.  You can pop in either format and keep going.
So, yes, one drive will work.
Still, there is a utility included with the package that "unmounts" the
device to free up some memory.  The authors however recommend not using it 
since it may cause problems.
