You can also make one which is what I ended up doing. You only need three
pins going to the computer: GND (1), TXD (2), and RXD (3); and four to the
RM301: +5 (16), phase1 (6), GND(7), and phase2 (8). You can check the pinouts
by looking at figure 4-26 in the Omni VI manual for the TX audio board
schematic. I didn't have a print on my used RM301, but you can just look at
the encoder and figure the pinout easily - if I recall it might even match pin
for pin the DB-25 on the Omni - but you need to check. Hacking an existing
cable is hard since they all come now with molded plugs it seems, but you can
still get DB-25 connectors and hoods at Radio Shack. So far, no RFI problems
with an IBM ThinkPad running TR-LOG.
