There's a program "EEMRAM" available archived as "eemram21.arc" that 
will use LIM 4.0 expanded memory to add memory past 640K.  It's not
a TSR, it just fills in memory past 640K, tells DOS about it, and exits.

My XT-clone has 704K (720,896 bytes), and works just fine.  Seems that
if the NEAT chip set were set up for expanded memory (and QEMM supplying
the LIM driver ???), that this program might work on other machines as
well (w/o EGA/VGA).
