To test this, I change the first few lines of my CONFIG.SYS file
which are --

   DEVICE=C:\BIN\UMBPCI.SYS
   DEVICE=C:\BIN\XMGR.SYS /W
   DOS=HIGH,UMB
   REM DEVICE=C:\BIN\JEMM386.EXE I=B000-B7FF X=C800-EFFF NOEMS

Normally, I "remark out" (REM) JEMM386 and use it only for UIDE/
UIDE2 testing.   After editing, my CONFIG.SYS file began with --

   DEVICE=C:\BIN\XMGR.SYS /B
   DOS=HIGH,UMB
   DEVICE=C:\BIN\JEMM386.EXE I=B000-B7FF I=CC00-DFFF
   DEVICEHIGH=C:\BIN\XMGR.SYS

XMGR loads first in /B "boot" mode, then after JEMM386 enables
upper-memory, XMGR loads again and "moves" to upper-memory, as
was my original "scheme" for it to save 640K DOS memory.   The
JEMM386 driver is told to "map" the B000-B7FF monochrome video
area and from CC00-DFFF as upper-memory.   My video BIOS takes
up to CBxx, and I wanted to avoid E000 up so JEMM386 could use
it as an "EMS page frame".

Did not try this on FreeDOS, but on my "old" V6.22 MS-DOS, the
edited CONFIG.SYS file "booted" with NO "gripes or groans"!!

Rugxulo, I REALLY think you should check AGAIN running JEMM386
without "NOEMS" -- worked fine for me!
