I have the same mother board and do have access to the 384K using the
program 386max.  The reason you can't access it directly is something
like this 384K of memory is located way up at the upper most part of
the address space and is essentially invisible to most other drivers.

386max lets you use it as your choice of extended/expanded memory.
