"Earlier Micropolis floppy disk drives ("MegaFloppy") extended Shugart's standard of 48 tpi (tracks per inch) and increased track count to 77 tracks on a disk, and, with 100 TPI track density, doubled the available storage on a disk. This Micropolis format was effectively a 1:1 scaled-down version of an 8-inch disk."

Looks like it's a higher-capacity 5.25" floppy drive. Maybe standard floppy disks will work. But it sees you might need a Megafloppy drive in your computer to read/write them to use the extended capacity.

Just got myself a Ketron MS-40 arranger and its floppy drive had been
replaced by a "Lion's Tracs Megafloppy" drive.
Anybody have an idea what it does and how to use it?
Thanks
