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.
