Well, if this has the 15-pin rectangular white plastic connector, with 3x5 rows of pins, then I probably have a converter for it. The ABZ part of the encoder is totally standard, but the commutation signals are all encoder on one differential pair. I have a board that converts this to the industry-standard "Hall" signals. It can be used with my own servo drives, or with other industry-standard drives like Servo Dynamics, AMC, Copley Controls, etc. See

for a pic and more info. I can also give you the pinout of the connector.
