Personally, I don't think any emulated system is a real computer. Even if
you emulate a real computer on a real computer, the emulated system, I

Linux/390 to emulate a VAX, I would still consider the S/390 to be a real
computer, but I don't think I'd consider the emulated VAX as one.

If I write a
PC emulator that runs on a real computer, does the
computer become not real?
No, and conversely, if you run a real-computer-emulator on a PC, the PC
does not become real.
