No, sorry, there isn't.  While Windows offers SCSI passthrough
capability using some DeviceIoControl control code, we don't support the
/dev/sg* devices and the translation from sg to underlying Windows
device.

I played with the SCSI passthrough stuff a couple years ago.  I'd say,
the real problem is not to support passthrough, but the device
translation.  There's pretty certainly a way to offer that, but off the
top of my head I don't know how to.

Adding a Cygwin fhandler for sg devices and SCSI passthrough would
probably be a nice side project for somebody who's interested in this
stuff.  It wouldn't really collide with anything which is already
implemented.
