No. They ARE REFERRED EXACTLY the same way some other devices are. /dev/hdd here is Zip drive (and I'm could check it with fdisk :-) and /dev/hdd4 (usually) is fourth partition there with actual data. It's possible to use /dev/hdd as disk (just use mkfs.<filesystemtype> :-) but this way Zip disk will be unusable for DOS and/or Windows even if there are will be used msdos of vfat filesystem...
