Host platform

The Virtualization Software presents standard VAX and PDP11 devices to the VAX and PDP11 operating system, allowing the OS to function as though it were still running on a VAX and PDP11 computer. For example, virtual disk container files in a directory or physical devices of the host Windows platform are presented by the Virtualization Software to the VAX and PDP11 OS as emulated SCSI disks attached to a SCSI adapter.

...

A similar translation process is also valid for other emulated hardware devices.
