There's one missing piece after this patch, which is the association
of an NT device name with an appropriate Unix device file. Until
Wine learns how to autodetect these you need to do it by hand.

For example, to associate NT tape device \\.\TAPE0 with your Linux
SCSI tape device /dev/st0 you need to create this symbolic link:

  $ ln -s /dev/st0 ~/.wine/dosdevices/tape0
  $ ls -l ~/.wine/dosdevices/
