It uses a 26-conductor cable with header connectors on both ends. I think that
the interface is proprietary and doesn't have an official name. However, TQK50
(one possible controller for this interface) says "MAYA CONTROLLER" on the
board, suggesting that the nickname for this interface is "MAYA".
As for TMSCP, you are mixing apples and oranges. TMSCP is the interface between
the controller and the CPU, not between the drive and the controller. However,
you are right in the sense that TUK50 and TQK50, the most common controllers
for TK50 drives, are TMSCP (over UNIBUS and Q-bus, respectively).
