OK. Actually, I thought of that right as I got your email. Now only one
thing bothers me. Right now, ntdll does special-casing on DOS devices.
So, if you open \DosDevices\D: with NtOpenFile() (or equivalently,
\\.\D: with kernel32.CreateFile), ntdll magically turns that into
$WINEPREFIX/dosdevices/d::. Then the server opens the file like any UNIX
file. What I'm guessing you want is for opens of \DosDevices\D: to go to
\Device\CdRom0 (because \DosDevices\D: is supposed to be an NT symbolic
link). How then am I supposed to associate a UNIX file with
\Device\CdRom0? Or, is this not what you want?
