Microport guru's!

I'm putting together a 80286 system to run Microport System V software. 
Before I do, I would like to find out if anyone has successfully done so
with the following configuration of hardware?

Base hardware:
NEC APC IV PowerMate I with 640k at 8 MHz
NEC MultiSync Color Monitor
'Vega Deluxe' Video Card
NEC 40-MB Hard Disk
NEC 1.2-MB Floppy Drive

Configurable hardware:
Memory Expansion Board with 2-3 MB (AST Research - RAMvantage!)

The Base hardware I already own, but the type of Memory board I purchase
is still an option. Is there a Memory board that will allow me to run
Microport and MS-DOS separately, and let MS-DOS use the extra memory?
If not, can I still run MS-DOS with the 640k that came with my machine?
Any comments and idea's are greatly appreciated.
