If the only interrupt I'm working with is driven by the NMI pin on the CPU, are any SEI / CLI instructions therefore meaningless?

Or are there internal IRQs within the processor that are not otherwise addressed by the user's code?

Indeed, SEI/CLI only makes a difference for IRQs, so no need for those, and if you have them they won't have any effect.

Thank you! It just amazes me the code I've been looking at even works with all the cruft and inefficient coding I've dug out so far.

I suggest you read Garth's interrupt primer so you will become real familiar with how the 6502 reacts to interrupts.

Yup, I can second that; I've got it printed out behind me. I found it incredibly useful. That and your Investigating 65816 interrupts too (if using 65816).

The 65C816 interrupts article does repeat a few items in Garth's piece, but was focused on the 65C816's more powerful interrupt capabilities.

Incidentally, the 816 article posted here is out-of-date. The most up-to-date version is on my POC website.
