A regular audio tape cassette fits in it. Does anyone
know if I can use
regular audio tapes? Maybe a particular style of audio tape?
IIRC, the 'digital' tapes have a much higher coercivity than audio tapes.
You might get an audio tape to work for testing, but I certainly wouldn't
trust it.
The digital tapes have an extra notch in the rear edge of the cassette
shell. Some drivea look for this (and maybe even physically require it
for the cassette to fit). Others don't care.
