Cable for Wang 724/725 keyboard

Got one with orange ALPS NIB but it came without a cable. I understand it has a 6P6C connector. Would either of these generic cables work or will they have the wrong pin connections? Or is there a converter available that would connect it straight to USB?

Any help much appreciated!

Mine came with a terminal jack for the keyboard end an an AT plug for the other. Well, I found that cable in a large box full of lots of keyboards, including other models of 725, but it worked nonetheless. Others come with a terminal jack on both sides.

Probably has to be specific for the keyboard. I could make you one, but the shipping to Germany would probably make it not worth it.

Luckily got a non-mechanical Wang (they're comparatively rare in Europe / Germany, I gather) just a few days after posting this and the cable works fine. It's pretty battered in comparison to the NIB keyboards I want to use it with, though... So if anyone has a newish cable they want to sell, please let me know. Also, if anyone wants the non-mechanical Wang without a cable, just PM.
