DOS doesn't have a /dev/ directory where the raw devices can be 
accessed.  You will have to change the code that accesses that direcory 
on Unix.  Most probably, direct IOCTL calls is the way to do that on DOS 
(if the code you are porting reads/writes the CD in raw mode), or access 
the drive letter (such as F:) where the CD is mapped.  I suggest you post 
the fragment that accesses /dev/something and let people advise.
