This link from fr.comp.ordinosaures is interesting
http://f6aoj.ao-journal.com/crbst_752.html
Would be a shame if this really ancient videoterminal goes to waste.
As an aside : what a beautiful name the french have for there old computers :
"ordinosaures"

I am looking for information about
- the pinout of the connector (it should be 4 pins, sort of serial)
- the protocol used
- key keymap
thanks in advance

I wrote a program years ago to read this an use it as an X11 or console
keyboard. NetBSD has a driver too.

There is extensive documentation around. If you look at Linux's
lkkbd.c[1], you'll find the pinout, how to build an adaptor to use it
on a regular serial port and a pointer to some scanned PDF[2] where
the hardware and protocol is descriped in depth.
