As others have stated already there are physical differences between them 
that some older systems can have problems with. 

As I need these for a person who has an old "typewriter" which 
specifically states in the manual that the disks must be DS-DD and that HD 
disks will not work I would rather avoid the potential for problem.

I have found several supplier selling new stock so I can only assume you 
are wrong.
