  No. I can do batch scans and there is no pause. I also can do other
stuff on the computer while it scans. Not a problem for me. I guess
that'd depend on how much RAM one has.
 You can apply one setting to a whole batch of negs if the exposures
are similar. Or, you can adjust each one thru a preview and the 9000
will remember each adjustment. (It's VERY fast)

> Does a whole roll of 16-bit scans fit comfortably on a single CD?

  I adjust all my scans in Photoshop and then store at 8 bits. 
(Printer drivers can't tell 8 from 16 bits) You'd only need 16 bits if
you were not adjusting the images before burning the CD. 
And, yes, one roll generally can fit on 1 CD. (700 meg)
  Also, if the images are not very good, I reduce dpi to 300 before
burning. That, too, will save some space. It's rare that one roll will
not fit on 1 CD.
  I am shooting with a Nikon F3 and a Pentax 6X7.

 By the way, FYI, the Mitsui Gold CDs that Howard recommends have
phthalcyanine dye, the real archival dye according to the research
paper posted here by Joe Iraci. (In fact, Mitsui invented the dye.)
Taiyo Yuden CDs, though VERY well constructed, no not use the most
archival dye. They use cyanine dye.
