There are some PCMCIA capture cards with v4l support, but I have never used one and I don't think they use ZV. There is the margi DVD decoder card which uses ZV under linux, but it depends on your graphics chipsets if you can view it. USB also works and probably with more capture devices, but is limited by the USB bandwidth and I had some problems with notebooks that could not sustain the prober current via USB to power the devices.
