You don't need specific DD disks - any old HD disk will do, just stick
a piece of good quality sellotape over the hole in the corner opposite
the write-protect lock. The Mac will recognise it as a DD disk and
reformat it as an 800K (assuming you've got a floppy drive tht can
write such disks of course). :o)
Just make sure the tape sticks down properly, otherwise the disk can
get stuck inside the drive and not eject properly.
