Not all keyboards with a PS2 connector had the chipset in them that understood USB connectivity.
Was going to suggest ducking down to Jaycar and grabbing a PS2 to USB adapter but it seems they are out of stock.
I have a Ritmo one that has a purple usb plug on it fair chance it might work.
My ritmo one never worked.
