Floppy Disks

My Dad wants floppy disks which are made by Supplies Team as he says they are different to other floppy disks he has used. There is a web address on the packaging which is www.supplies-team.co.uk but the ones currently on there are different to the ones he wants. The barcode of the product he wants is 5 021839 787523.
I have looked online but I cannot find them, does anyone know where they can be purchased from?
BTW Dad does know floppy disks went out a long time ago but he needs them for some music gadget he uses which he prefers to use to any other!!

They are probably not being made any more. Supplies Team didn't make them, they were just branded by them.

2. If you were in the other person's shoes, how would you react?
3. Do you want a quick answer or better understanding?0 -
Don't think they are anything special. Just standard 1.44MB Floppy discs. Unless he is referring to IBM formatted discs.0
