I still have a zoran board. And my recently purchased ryzen system has PCI slots. To my surprise they are not uncommon on new socket AM4 boards. However, I think the zoran board I have is 5V PCI and that is rather uncommon. Also becoming uncommon is analog NTSC/PAL video that this chip is designed for! If anyone is using these still, they would be in legacy systems for these legacy video formats.
