> drive letters are essentially just a convention borne out of the conversion of a Win32 path into a NT path

CMD also has the concept of a current drive, and of a per-drive current directory. (While “X:\” references the root directory of drive X, “X:” references whatever the current directory of drive X is. And the current directory, i.e. “.”, is the current directory of the current drive.) I wonder how those mesh with non-standard drive letters.
