Can someone tell me how to load DOS driver for a PCMCIA card?

I am trying to load some DOS drivers for a serial PCMCIA card to run my VFD. I have the drivers on a floppy, I am just unsure of how/where to put them. Do I edit the autoexec.bat and place the .inf in there or what? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks 🙂
 
whats a VFD?

this is a PITA, you'll need to get the drivers from the manufacterer of the lappy... if memory serves there are three or four different device drivers/tsr's that must be loaded.....dont quote me though I haven't done this in many years.
 
a .inf file is for windows drivers. if you're loading a dos driver you need either a .sys file (in which case it'd be loaded in config.sys), or a TSR in the form of an exe or (more likely) a .com, in which case those would be ran from autoexec.bat.
