The Omni VI and VI+ use regular RS-232 serial communications. If you have a regular serial port on your computer you do not need any level conversion. The pins used on the 25 pin D connector for TX data, RX data and data ground on the Omni VI are probably not standard, so you may need to build your own cable.

The OMNI VI and VI+ both did computer control using a superset of the ICOM
command set.  You can use any of the ICOM level converters to drive it, and
in some software us the IC-735 profile to control many (most?) of the
controllable features of the rig.
(excuse me, I guess todays hams don't build dipoles or install connectors on their coax, so I guess you'll have to buy one)
