It's probably 2mm (.0787 in). The connectors and cable are available from
digikey (US and Canada). (www.digikey.com, catalog pg 37)

Digikey P/N Description AMP P/N Price (US)
ASA44K-ND 44 pin, 2mm, IDC connector 1-111626-0 $3.54
AM446-X-ND 44 conductor, 2mm cable, 5ft 1-57051-2 $3.19

IDC cables are pretty easy to crimp with a panavise, or bench vise and
nylon jaws. Just take your time, and buy extra parts :)
