Minimig can use a 64 MB dram directly. By just replacing the current sram chip. And change the HDL-code.
So no need for a particular "ram expansion" per se.

The question is rather what to do with any ram above >16MB :-D

Minimig can use DRAM that is 3.3V LVTTL single-ended electrically. Functionality is taken care of with HDL-code.
The chip package will ofcourse differ, so either a hack-breakboard will have to be made. Or you simple design a board with correct package size.

Connecting a P-ATA drive something completly different than adding DRAM.

The DRAM on the picture above is likely 5V standard RAS/CAS. Nothing special then perhaps a specific pinout. Check wikipedia on this issue.
