Which driver do you mean? AFAIK, the driver is under construction and
not in git, but a patch exists.

I hope the driver gets into git in the next time.

I think there is no alternative for the price. IMO the highest
resolution of the 9000F is useless for your sources, it is more a
marketing value. If you speak German, I will search a test for you.

If you want to scan slides and neg only, I would recommend you a film
scanner, the quality is a lot better. I use a Nikon with vuescan for
this.
