The only place I can think of ATM is amigakit, pre-formatted for Amiga(!).  They even have 5.25" floppies - I'm impressed!  Maybe I'll order a lot for my C64. :)

Not all floppy drives like HD disks with the "HD hole" taped shut.

I remember, back in the old days when "swappers" existed, they pledged not to send them HD disks since they caused so much trouble.

Dunno the technical details behind it, but that's what I've heard.
