I would like some advice or suggestions. I need a hard drive for my Apple //c. Those are a little hard to find, so a modern equivalent will have to do. But it must be the equivalent of a hard drive, not a stack of floppies.
There are, as far as I can tell, two SD card drives for the Apple //c.
This one:

appears two function as a 143k floppy drive and a stack of floppy disks. You change disks by pushing a button, but it's still just a 143k drive. Is this correct? If so, it's not what I want, but I need to be sure. Is it possible to access the whole card from Prodos, or a .dsk the size of a hard drive?
This looks more like what I want:

The description seems to say I could access one floppy drive, one .dsk image, and nine hard disk images (how big?) all at once, from Prodos (Geos? Mousedesk?). The problem is the dial controller. I WILL NOT use a vile thing like that. It looks like it's used to select the disk images to be used from a long list of many more than it can access at once. Is that correct? Once it's set up, can I disconnect that dial thing and put it away? Or is it necessary to select the current disk image from the list?
