A few folks that I've been in contact with have

correct cartridges, but have found that taking old music 8-Track
cartridges and cutting down the length of the tape (a long tape won't
advance properly) will work as a suitable replacement.
You can see some pix of the Wang 380 at

Ah yes, I've got one. Mine is in about as ratty shape as the one in the
first photo. I'm not sure if I've got tapes for it though. I'll have to
check through some boxes as I just might have one or two.
