Sounds like a serial port. If you can find a "console cable" then you may be able to talk to it with a PC's serial port.

Measure the voltages. If the interface is RS232, then you may see

+/-12V or similar. As a rule, unless there are pull-up resistors, any pin carrying +/-12V will be an output. An examination of the interface chip(s) may also shed some light on the interface type. If the keyboard is powered from the interface, check for +5V and ground.

I don't know if this URL will be of any help:
