AFAIK, it may _look_ like a normal compact cassette,

isn't one. The tape is different for one thing (I believe it's a much
higher coercivity than normal audio tape). And the cassette shell has an
extra notch on the back edge, slightly off-centre. Some drives use this
to detect which side of the tape is in use, some use it to reject normal
audio tapes.
The TU60 doesn't use the notch though, does it? I'm pretty sure I've popped
regular audio cassettes in there and they fit fine. Could be a false memory
though...
