I've never seen an I/O card that used an daughter board for the second
serial port, but I imagine there were companies who tried such a design.

This sounds like a memory expansion+i/o card, with functions similar to
the well known AST Six Pak Plus board. Does this card also have a 26 pin
header somewhere for the second serial port? Does it have a battery for a
real time clock? Make sure you write down the board's current dip switch
settings if you decide to try changing anything...
No headers other than the long ones for a daughter card. With a daughter
card installed, it looks like it'll obstruct the next slot, so any extra
ports might attach there. No battery or Dallas RTCs either. And don't
worry-- I'm not changing any setting until _after_ I know what they do!
