3.5" DSDD media is still available and cheap but you may need to special
order it.

Years back, I
had good luck using a 720K (DSDD) 3-1/2" drive in place of
the 720K '80 track' 5-1/4" drive in an Intel PDS workstation. I
'converted over' all the original media from 5-1/4" by installing the 3
and 5 inch drives in a 'dual drive' configuration then ran the disk copy
utility.
Blank new 720K 3-1/2" media itself has become scarce now, though.
I still do this in my Kapro 4/84. In a pinch 1.44media will work fine
if the media select hole (not write protect) is filled.
Fortunatly I have a box of 720k media.
