No /dev Files for Tape Backup to Use?

- Subject: No /dev Files for Tape Backup to Use?
I've installed Cygwin on NT4 in order to use tar to do some backups. I've
got a 15/30 Gb DLT tape drive hooked up to the machine.
My understanding is that tar will need to refer to the tape device -- yet
there is no /dev directory. Is this common? Is there some other step I
need to take to generate the proper /dev files for my tape drive, etc?
Please advise.
