NMI
 /N?M?I/, n.

    Non-Maskable Interrupt. An IRQ 7 on the PDP-11 or 680[01234]0; the NMI
    line on an 80[1234]86. In contrast with a priority interrupt (which might
    be ignored, although that is unlikely), an NMI is never ignored. Except,
    that is, on clone boxes, where NMI is often ignored on the motherboard
    because flaky hardware can generate many spurious ones.
