They might work with a so-called active adapter. IIRC it has something to do with the adpater suppling power. With some research and an investment of like $5, you can probably still use your keyboards. Unicomp[1] still makes these keyboards, and you can get them for USB. I'm using one right now (with 122 keys), and among all the different keyboards I used over the last 40 years, I've never found anything better than these buckling spring ones.
