Hmm. Is your braille device really connected on the serial port? If the
system says that com1 doesn't exist, that means that the serial port
itself doesn't exist. Does it appear in the system control panel? Itsn't
it used by another program?

(btw, the /dev/ prefix does not hurt, and actually /dev/ttyS0 should
work too in the cygwin port (not the mingw one though)).
