NMI

[Alan Grimes]

You people probably won't beleive this but I once owned a Creative Labs
Sound Blaster AWE 32 that _HABITUALLY_ threw the NMI during NORMAL
operation, Apparently Creative labs thought the best way to emulate some
ancient interface was to trap to software via the NMI and do something
-- I can't remember what... When I called tech support and bitched about
it they said "Yeah, it's a well documented FEATURE." 
	They have absolutly no respect for the notion of a critical hardware
fault... Some other time I bought a DVD drive from them, it was not even
romotely ATAPI compliant, and the DOS driver that came with it didn't
utilize the VDS service correctly and crashed the machine whenever a
decient memory manager was in place! 
	The Toshiba DVD drive I use now works perfectly in all operating
systems including DOS. =)
