Accessing disk-devices



Hi!

Is there any way of accessing disk-devices under Cygwin (something like
using the "\\.\<physical-device>:" syntax accepted by the Win32 APIs?

Another way around would be to use CreateFile() to open the device and
then convert the HANDLE to a Cygwin file-descriptor. The function

	cygwin_attach_handle_to_fd()

looks ok, but I would like it to work in the other direction.
