But how do I know the order of device names? It all depends when the

AFAIK, Cygwin does not implement the /dev directory.
Cygwin does implement /dev (and /proc, plus the Windows specific
/registry), you just can't ls it because it's all internal redirection
magic. There is a script (Google is your friend) to create and
populate /dev with null files as placeholders for working devices, so
that ls and the like can grab them. The Cygwin /dev magic will ignore
the files in favor of the virtual device handles when you actually try
to use them.
Excellent. This was the correction I wanted to get.
Thanks a lot :)
