Surely, at least the one on the top has a TurboChannel adapter.
The card is a PMAZ-A, which is a TurboChannel card, so it must have a
TurboChannel adapter.
The other two, probably don't have a TC adapter.

Given that each VS would cost around 300 euros, subtract the standard
price of 50 euros for a VS4k, then the TC adapter would cost 250
euros.
More or less the original price of a TC adapter back in the 90s.
I would not pay 250 euros for such piece of old electronics.
Maybe for a whole PDP11, not for a single add on card.

Bye!
