At one point I remember a discussion that DAT backup drives have a media sensor on it and the DAT tapes are encoded depending on their intended use. The audio ones are poorer quality I guess and the DAT drives will reject them. So I don't think that'll work at all, unless you have a drive that says it supports audio tapes too.
