Nice timing -- I only just bought some so I think these #s are still valid:
Digikey 609-3544-ND (FCI 65846-004LF) = 44-pin housing (with key which may
have to be sanded off -- dunno if there's an unkeyed version)
Digikey 609-3619-1-ND (FCI 48245-000LF) = crimp pin (22-26 AWG)
N.B. the housing is technically 44 positions because it goes all the way
to the edges, but the DEC connectors (like the IDC ribbon-cable connectors)
skip the outer pairs so you only ever use the middle 40 pins out of 44.
