Hi Martin,
Probably better to get the ordered overlappeds working on sockets and serial ports first before trying to perfect block devices. That will bring Wine's feature set inline with Win9x overlapped I/O.
I've never had anybody complain that overlapped I/O on block devices doesn't work for any program. Most programs avoid using features that only work on NT... you're likely to find that only NT services use those API calls.... and they won't work on Wine anyhow, seeing we don't support services properly yet.
It seems like a good idea to try to make everything perfect from the start, but an incremental approach is usually better.

device.
Obviously IO requests on block devices on Linux are _always
blocking_.
on
non-socket fd's and for block devices it clearly has none.
