Modern SD(HC) cards have quite huge capacities and cannot be formatted in the old FAT-style, which seems to be restricted to 4 GB volumes max.
The trick to make them work in my Expert 200 amp, was to resize a 16GB SDHC (mentioned before) card via Windows command line tool "diskpart".
In the end it became a 4GB (active) volume, wasting any space beyond (but dp_cfg.txt is tiny compared to 4GB).
The resulting volume then can be FAT-formatted e.g. by right clicking in Windows Explorer.
Not a very comfortable way to go, but worked perfectly and the card has more modern flash technology compared to smaller, rather old cards.

That's about the best introductory post I've seen on any forum. Thanks for that info and welcome to the forum Ecki.
