I have bought data cassette tapes for an NCR digital tape unit on Ebay.
From this guy:

About 30 cents each or so. I don't know if this is the type that the DG systems need
or not.

Well, I've definitely seen black streamer cassettes
(being offered).
What I meant was, they might have been engineered
to a
higher standard
than your average audio cassette.

About 20 years ago I had a bunch of audio recorded on old
data cassettes and
gave them all away about 10 years ago.
