You can generate NMIs by shortening the first two pins of
an ISA slot with a screwdriver (the two pins close to the
back where the ISA slot covers are).  This can also be done
with PCI slots, if that board doesn't have an ISA slot
anymore, but I don't know which pins (it's _not_ the first
two pins), and it's a lot more difficult because the PCI
pins are much smaller.

Disclaimer:  Don't sue me if you toast your board.  :-)
Do it at your own risk.  Read the docs first.  Check the
pin assignment.  Make your last will and testament first,
etc.

Regards
   Oliver
