This page explains the history of the Twiggy drive and disks which were used in the original Lisa 1 and Macintosh prototypes, and includes images of the disks and packaging.
From the page:
"In the early '80s, Apple fell victim to a serious case of NIH Syndrome (Not Invented Here), and decided to manufacture their own disk drives. Not content to be industry compatible, instead they designed what they believed to be leading-edge drives: the Twiggy floppy drive and the Widget hard drive."
