Not on my machine. I get "no such file or directory". I should have
probably mentioned that my floppy drive is not built-in.

I have various devices (CD, floppy drives, hard drives) connected via
USB2.0 that show up as lettered drives D:, E:, F:, etc. on Windows.
I'd like to know of a general approach to treating them or the
built-in EIDE hard drive as files, if that's at all possible on
Cygwin.
