IMHO, it's not a bad thing to discontinue the PCI card.
It is a full-height old-style PCI bus, and it was getting harder to find replacement systems that had that bus--most have PCIe now, and the card was too tall to fit a 'mini' case. So I've had to stick with a desktop tower case (Dell Optiplex 7010MT) just to have the full-size PCI card work.
