Try it anyway.  If it doesn't work, it doesn't work.

The reason I suggested it was years ago I had the same problem -- old
computer, modern USB keyboard.  The computer seemingly was designed to
use the keyboard in the dedicated keyboard port only.  Fortuantely, the
keyboard had come with the appropriate adapter.  I plugged it in and
everything worked.  FWIW: the keyboard NEVER worked using the USB port.
even after I installed Linux.  Have forgotten which distro.
