As far as I can tell, the drives in a uvax II are the standard rx50's --
high density, single sided.  I've seen Verbatim floppys of the same sort
for sale; there are probably others too.  I seem to remember that when the
Rainbow first came out there wasn't a format program, but that one appeared
later.  Can't vouche for that, though, since I've never dealt with Rainbows
that much.  I've heard of people formatting disks on a Rainbow and using
them on uvaxes, though.  If you really want to, you could use the double
sided, high density floppies, ie., ones for an AT/RT drive just fine, since
they're certified for the same density, and on both sides too.  I don't
know about the possibilities of flippys, though.
