DDS4 device mnemonic with cygwin

- Subject: DDS4 device mnemonic with cygwin
To whom it may concern;
According to the cygwin user's guide, tape drive devices
are mapped to /dev... or /device... . Shouldn't you be able
to see these directories from a cygwin window under the
/ directory ? If so, is it because I did not install all of cygwin
at the time of installation ? On my Windows 2000 host in a
cygwin window, I need to be able to perform a tar command
in the form: tar cvf /dev...(for tape device) filename.
Any help in resloving this issue is most appreciated !
