Like FDV and FDK there were some interfaces with HDK...

I think NUL is definitively not a directory device ! It is like CON, SCR, PIPE, NET, 
MEM, etc...

> N, M and S - network devices (assuming these count)

N1_ is not a device... but N3_RAM2_ can be one :)

As you can change any name of device using for example RAM_USE HDD - after that : 
HDD1_ = RAM1_
etc...

> Any more known directory device driver names?

NFS-device...  accept any names... for example :

NFS_USE EXT,N5_RAM7_,N8_MDV2_IMAGES_,N1_FLP1_

then you have :
DIR EXT1_ gives the directory of RAM7 on QL "5"
LBYTES EXT2_Marcel_pic,2^17,2^15 loads a picture of Marcel from subdir IMAGES of MDV2 
on QL "8"
at QL-screen
SAVE EXT3_boot saves actual programm on FLP1 at QL "1" as a file named boot

PS: On the QL-PD/CD-R you have a toolkit named "TOOLHIT" (incl. sources). The proc 
DIRLIST gives
you a list of all installed (directory)device drivers on your QL... have a look :)
