/dev/ttyUSB0 works?!? It's no device name recognized by Cygwin, so
I assume you created a file on the disk called /dev/ttyUSB0 when
using it.
My knowledge about serial I/O is rather clumsy, but isn't there a
virtual COM port attached, or can't you attach a virtual COM port to
your USB I/O? AFAIK, you should find something like, say, COM9, which
would be available as /dev/com9 or /dev/ttyS8.
