Wrong mailing list. Non-XFree question please to cygwin@cygwin.com.
The answer to your question is "It depends."
If you're running on 9x/Me, the answer is "no".
On NT/2K/XP it's "yes". The device name is /dev/scd0 for the first
CD-ROM, /dev/scd1 for the 2nd,...
These special device names are documented in the online docs:
