Is this nmi-switch a network ethernet switch ?
then u can use a pcmcia-ethernet card - watch in the aminet for the cnet-device drivers

Actually the NMI is the Non-Maskable Interupt. It's a special request line for the CPU! I suppose you could use it via a switch to perform certain functions with your computer ;)

Isn't this switch something that the Action Replay does? I thought there was an A1200 Action Replay

I think so, makes sense since this is something that you would probably want control of to do something special like say get a hold of the current state of any running apps in memory and of course to get control of the cpu!

I'm thinking that somebody like CodeTapper and Toni Wilen could give more insite on this one however ;)

The nmi-switch raises the non maskable level 7 interrupt and i want to use it with hrtmon because the mouse and keyboard is not always usable.
