Connecting LK250 to VAXmate

Hello Jason, I have all the bits necessary to make a cable for the LK250 now, without butchering the IBM Model M cable I bought (which turns out to only have 4 out of 6 wires). All I need now is the pinout. I have the VAXmate technical description which gives me pin numbers and signals for the cable, but I am not really sure how that maps to the connector pins. So, if you, or anyone else, could tell me the pinout for the LK250 cable I would be very grateful. From the technical description it looks like I may be able to get away with only 4 wires, not sure.

The problem is the keyboard came without the cable. It uses an 8-pin SDL connector and the usual tiny MMJ-like connector at the keyboard end. I don't know the pinout and I don't have the necessary crimping tools, is there any source for such a cable? Is it actually MMJ, with the offset pin, like a DEC serial cable? Or is it just an RJ connector like a telephone handset? And is the SDL end the same type as on an IBM model M keyboard? I have a VAXmate buried in storage. With enough prodding I could dig it out and try to determine the pinout of the cable.
