theres no header on the data tapes (IIRC)
That's a simple fix.
Actually, if that is the only reason an audio tape isn't usable, then I
can custom order tapes from a supplier I use in the correct length (600
feet) and with no leader. I don't know the price for sure, but I would
venture to say no more than $2.00 per tape. (I get normal 120 minute
tapes from him for about 60 cents a tape).
Somehow I suspect there are other reasons beyond tape length and lack of
a leader that makes it different from an audio tape.

All of the data cassette tapes that I have run across come
equipped with BOT/EOT perforations to prevent run off at either
end. I do not recall such being used on audio tapes. If your
drive uses them, the lack could be awkward.
