The cable that you need is probably similar to the one that came with my Yamaha RX-21 drum machine in about 1985. It has an 8-pin DIN plug on one end and (I think) two 3.5mm and one 2.5mm jack plugs on the other. The larger plugs were for the mic and earphone sockets of a typical mono cassette recorder (they were often used for home computer data backup at the time) and the 2.5mm plug could start and stop the cassette if the recorder had a remote switch facility. I successfully backed up data from my drum machine using this facility, and you could probably store CZ-5000 sequencer data on a PC as audio in the same way.
