I doubt that there's a compatible daughter board.  I'll bet, though,
that the one megabyte of installed memory is thirty two or (if there's
partity checking) thirty six 256Kbit chips.  See if there's some way to
put 1Mbit chips in instead; that'll give him four megabytes.  (Since a
386 needs thirty two bit wide memory, you can't go half and half.)
