No, sorry, there isn't. While Windows offers SCSI passthrough capability using some DeviceIoControl control code, we don't support the /dev/sg* devices and the translation from sg to underlying Windows device. I played with the SCSI passthrough stuff a couple years ago. I'd say, the real problem is not to support passthrough, but the device translation. There's pretty certainly a way to offer that, but off the top of my head I don't know how to. Adding a Cygwin fhandler for sg devices and SCSI passthrough would probably be a nice side project for somebody who's interested in this stuff. It wouldn't really collide with anything which is already implemented.
