System Memory address of the Command List structure.
Interrupt = 0300H
Indicates that an Interrupt Level of 3 be used for Command List status.
Command = 01H
This value is the Start Command List command code.
3.Fill in the Interrupt Word of the Single Command structure. This is used to indicate the Interrupt Level to be used for the Single Command. In this example we will leave it zero along with the Interrupt Acknowledge ID. This means the Flags byte of the Status Block will need to be cleared before issuing the command, and then the Command Complete
(CC)bit polled to determine when this command completes.
In memory, the structure will look like this:

4.The next step is to load the Address Buffer Port. This will require three writes to the port address. Each of the three writes is described next:
Control Field = 84H - For the first write, the Control Field, we’ll select no byte or word swapping of control structures, but choose to use a
Address Modifier = 3DH - This is the Address Modifier that the adapter is to use when reading the Single Command Structure.
Single Command Structure Address = 822F4H - The other two writes to the port contain the address of the Single Command Structure.
