Hello Orion70!
1) The German version you actually mean  Well, VICE still offers a mediocre Plus/4 emulation (prefer YAPE instead), and a SD2IEC is not an equivalent of a disk drive, but just a mere storage deice, wheread a disk drive is a machine apart, with its own processor. Your German copy of GEOS will work on a real 1551, or a decent emulator like YAPE and plus4emu;
2) Ok, this should works as follows: the German version has been made by a passionate user, and being quite different in the code has to be considered as tolerated, also because it looks like a conversion of what M&T had acquired at the time from the original owners, and probably it could be seen mainly as a matter of the German distributor itself; for what concerns the English version, let's confirm what JamesC said;
3) Ah yep, it uses a 1551 turbo embedded in the main program, and if I remeber how the thing runs, you should better need TWO 1551 drives
