DAT 120 is 120 meters
DAT 60 is 60 meters 

And for good places to find DDS tapes cheap:
http://www.edge.net/ch/specials.html

I forget what their Sony 120s run, but they've offered specials like
Maxell 60 OEMs for $4-$5/ea.  And I know I've seen 120s around for <$10
on a number of Web Pages (search on keyword DAT, 4mm, or DDS).

I just bought a bunch of new Sony 120s on misc.forsale for $7/ea, but I
don't know if thats normally offered or if I was just lucky.

Good luck,
Jason
