Everything seem to "work" except CLOCK$

Try running this:

Code:

mkdir \\.\a:\con
mkdir \\.\a:\prn
mkdir \\.\a:\aux
mkdir \\.\a:\nul
mkdir \\.\a:\com1
mkdir \\.\a:\com2
mkdir \\.\a:\com3
mkdir \\.\a:\com4
mkdir \\.\a:\com5
mkdir \\.\a:\com6
mkdir \\.\a:\com7
mkdir \\.\a:\com8
mkdir \\.\a:\com9
mkdir \\.\a:\lpt1
mkdir \\.\a:\lpt2
mkdir \\.\a:\lpt3
mkdir \\.\a:\lpt4
mkdir \\.\a:\lpt5
mkdir \\.\a:\lpt6
mkdir \\.\a:\lpt7
mkdir \\.\a:\lpt8
mkdir \\.\a:\lpt9
