I think they use a special metal tape(?), that looks exactly like an audio tape...
:-( Crumbs. I was hoping to read old Commodore data with it. Now I'll have to find a source for the proper tapes...
Even if the tape media was compatible, the tapes most likely wouldn't be. The vic20/c=64 used really screwy methods to read/write the tapes, and there was alot of undocumented wierdness happening in those drives, concerning timing, etc. I remember Jim Butterfield being interviewed about the possibility of reading these beasts in an aftermarket reader, and he was quite convinced it was next to impossible.
