Yes, but several aspects of the IIe are emulated by the mac's hardware.
(the different slots, for instance, are mapped to the mac equivalent) and
such. Plus, the IIe rom resides in a file which is loaded into memory by
the 'IIe Startup' program, and has had several locations in it modified
for the IIe card (and loader)...I guess it's an interesting combination of
native hardware and emulated hardware.
