Hi Kevin,

Hello everyone. First time FreeDOS user, and first time in a mailing list

Welcome :-)

I am struggling to run the program cnczeus ( https://github.com/lumen0/cnczeus ) on an Asus CUW-AM ( https://theretroweb.com/motherboards/s/asus-cuw-am-hp-oem ) ...

Not sure whether I understand your (LegacyISO?) FreeDOS config
and whether you use the ISO as live CD or install to disk, but:

If you get a JEMMEX error, simply try not to load JEMMEX :-)

You can load any HIMEM variant instead (including QMGR or FDXMS)
as XMS and HMA drivers. It often is okay to have no EMS or UMB.

If you do want EMS and UMB, you can read the JEMMEX docs or
switch to JEMM386 or 386MAX and read the docs for those to
find more compatible settings for them than what your default
JEMMEX settings were. Maybe they just were not compatible with
the BIOS or hardware of your board, or did not autodetect well.

It is perhaps helpful to know that the floppy installer does not fully work, (failing on the fourth disk) nor do FullUSB and LiteUSB when used with plop boot manager.

Interesting! So you have to boot from CD/DVD made from ISO?
Does the LegacyCD work better than another CD?

You can also try the monthly rolling distro test releases, see:

Those have seen more than 1000 package updates since FreeDOS 1.3 :-)

Regards, Eric
