Classic is not an emulator. So sayeth the gods:
http://developer.apple.com/techpubs/macosx/Essentials/SystemOverview/InstallIntegrate/
The_Classic_Application.html
I have not seen the source code to Classic.app, so I can't say for sure
whether it is emulating hardware or not. I assume there is some level of
protection in place to prevent Classic apps from being able to do
terrible things to the computer despite OSX running, so I would hope
they aren't providing direct access to the hardware. But as for whether
it is truly emulated or not, I couldn't tell you.
Also, I doubt anyone is intentionally going to *start* writing apps
targeted directly at classic instead of OSX, which is off-topic of the
original discussion, I believe.
