  From  Jargon  File  (4.2.3,  23  NOV  2000)  [jargon]: 
 
  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.
