NMI Non-Maskable Interrupt
The Jargon File (version 4.4.7, 29 Dec 2003):

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.
The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (30 December 2018):

Non-Maskable Interrupt NMI (NMI) An IRQ 7 on the PDP-11 or 680x0 or the NMI line on an 80x86. In contrast with a priority interrupt (which might be ignored, although that is unlikely), an NMI is *never* ignored. (1994-12-13)
