 /*
- * scan.c - Phase 1: read the integral laser via WL2:D (reverse-engineered init).
+ * scan.c - Phase 1: WL2:D scanner, trigger + read loop (reverse-engineered).
  *
- * From disassembling SCANNER.DYL in the MX ROM, the scanner is driven over the
- * SIBO I/O executive (int 0xCF), i.e. the p_iow(chan, func, ...) layer. After
- * opening WL2:D the driver is enabled with two control ops (function codes 6
- * then 7 on the channel), after which decoded barcodes can be read. Decoded
- * output is terminated by CR LF (default Symbol2 postamble 0x0D 0x0A).
- *
- * This is the first RE-based attempt: the enable-then-read path. The full config
- * download (cl=0x0C command-byte writes) is not replicated here - if the driver
- * applies Symbol2 defaults on open, enable+read should suffice; if not, we add
- * the config writes next. Press the scan key to fire the laser.
+ * Confirmed from the previous build: opening WL2:D then issuing control ops 6
+ * and 7 triggers a scan (laser fires, green good-read LED). What was missing was
+ * the read: a bare p_iow(chan, P_FREAD, buf) passes no length. This uses p_read
+ * (which passes &len) to collect the decoded result, and re-triggers (ops 6/7)
+ * each iteration so successive scans work without relying on the scan key.
+ * Decoded output is CR/LF-terminated (default Symbol2 postamble).
