Quick Disks are a floppy disk format.  The disk double sided and is 2.8".
They were used in some samplers and typewriters.  They cost about $30.00
for a box of ten.

My Akai S612 sampler uses them.

I buy mine from a place called SoundSations!, you can order the disks
by phone.  The toll free number is (800)422-0575 or (313)885-1539.

Good luck.

BTW - The only connection I have with SoundSations! is that I'm a
satisfied customer.
