Sharing an external USB drive

Hi all,

I'm thinking of using one of those USB splitter devices for linking
an external USB drive to two XP machines.

Is this a bad idea?

Both machines will be controlled by me so it's unlikely I'll be
transferring files on both machines simultaneously, although I
wasn't sure what would happened if both of the operating systems
tried accessing the device at the same time.

Alternatively I can just have it connected to one at a time, but was
after a little convenience  :0)

Cheers,

Brad
