I see many instances where folks confuse simulation with emulation. The latter is a generally accurate (if not exact) reproduction of the original, including all important tangible attributes. An example would be an Opus 3n1 dumb terminal running in Wyse 60 mode. It emulates the WY60 behavior, not only in software but in hardware attributes (i.e., it has a keyboard, CRT, EIA-232 port, etc.).
Simulation is a software illusion in which no tangible attributes are present. As an example, WIN-VICE (despite the E in VICE) simulates the operation of a Commodore 128 but has no analog to the C-128's keyboard, ports, etc. Therefore, it is not an emulator.
