He probably means that you must simply follow the logic sequence:

pin3 Y2
pin4 Y3
.
.
pin9 Y8

The same applies to the DB connector pinout, it's widely described over the net

I present the Captain NTT keyboard adaptor from PAC for Philips Keyboard 8280/50/55
In this moment the keyboard works fine, but some keys are inverted: R=O, O=R etc.
In some days PAC give more info.
