Ok, with Sun keyboards that I've dealt with (type 3's and type 4's), there
is one cable going between the keyboard and CPU board. There's a seperate 
cable from the keyboard to the mouse.

On type 3 keyboards, the cable from the keyboard to CPU board is fixed to
the keyboard, and has a male 15-pin 'D' plug for the CPU board end. The
mouse connects with a RJ-11 (or similar) phone plug to a special socket 
in the back of the keyboard.

On type4 keyboards, there are two identical 8-pin mini-DIN sockets under
the keyboard. One takes the cable to the CPU board (can have either type
of connector on the CPU board end), and the other takes the mouse cable. 
The CPU board and mouse cables can be plugged in either way around to
facilitate left-hand or right-hand usage. 

The pinouts for the two types of keyboard/mouse connector are:

The SCSI port(s) will all be female 50-pin 'D'-type connectors. It's easy
to make a SCSI cable using IDC (crimp-on) connectors by making sure pin 1
of each connector lines up when you crimp them onto the ribbon cable in a
vice.
