I have a TA-11 but no media.  Anyone know if it's possible to test
with audio cassettes?  I know "real" tapes have a notch to mate with a
tab on the drive to prevent cheap tapes from being loaded, but are
there any worrisome issues (abrasion/head wear, etc) with modifying a
cheap tape for light use/testing?
