In UNIX, one can do things like

dd if=/dev/fd0 of=~/disk_image

Is this possible in Cygwin?

I tried

dd if=/cygdrive/d 

and

dd if="D:"

but that doesn't work. Also, I googled up some suggestions in the
mailing list archives, but they didn't work either (Cygwin must have
changed since the question was asked)
