With this command you can instruct the RF3880 adapter to begin operating 
from a Command List. Since with Command List operation you can attain 
higher performance from your SCSI peripheral, this is one of the first 
commands you should issue to the adapter. It must be issued by means of a 
Single Command Structure.

See Chapter 4, Command Operation for information about using Command 
Lists.

Each of the fields used by the Start Command List command are explained in
