If I remember correctly (it's been a long time), DOS knows when
you're trying to access a device by looking at the *basename*
(minus path and extension) of the file. As of MS-DOS 6.22, the
list of reserved names was AUX, COM{1,2,3,4}, CON, LPT{1,2,3}, NUL
and PRN. I'm not sure what the list is in the various incarnations
of Windows, nor if it's set in stone (could new reserved names be
added by loading drivers ?).
