Yes you do. Even under DOS, it's a magic directory containing devices, like
unix. eg in DOS

hamish [d:\in]: dir \dev

 Volume in drive D is WD730_2        Serial number is 0C50:14EF
File not found "d:\dev.*"
           0 bytes in 0 file(s)
  15,704,064 bytes free

hamish [d:\in]: dir \dev\com2

 Volume in drive D is WD730_2        Serial number is 0C50:14EF
 Directory of  d:\dev\com2.*

com2              112  28-01-97  10:56
         112 bytes in 1 file(s)              8,192 bytes allocated
  15,704,064 bytes free
