3 definitions found From Virtual Entity of Relevant Acronyms (Version 1.9, June 2002) [vera]: NMI Non-Maskable Interrupt From Jargon File (4.3.1, 29 Jun 2001) [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. From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (27 SEP 03) [foldoc]: NMI {Non-Maskable Interrupt}
