I've run into more than a few things that aren't happy with emulation.
I know AIX for PS/2 is looking for something at PS/2 specific memory
addresses related to hardware.
I've also had a number of problems with different hypervisors emulating
different types of hardware that older OSs are happy (enough) with.
Things like IDE / SCSI / sound / network controllers.
