Thing is: According to Wikipedia SDHC cards are specified to a maximum of 32 
GB.

And according to

http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/SansaE200Port

there is only a SDHC driver, not a SDXC one which would allow for up to 2 TB. 
But it may also require a different hardware: An SDXC controller / slot.

According to to

http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/SansaClip

a Sansa Clip Zip has a MicroSDHC slot.

But please tell me if it works for you.

Did you manage to order a 64 GB SDHC card? If so, where? I thought SDHC is a 
maximum of 32 GB.

Hmmm, yes according to Amazon and Startpage there are really some 64 GB SDHC 
(not XC) cards available. From Samsung:

64 GB microSDHC Class 10 EVO

But its misleading. On German Amazon page its labeled as SDHC, yet in 
technical specs the form factor is labeled SDHC. Model number is: MB-MP64DEU.

Confusingly Samsung themselves do not seem to share *any* details about this 
card. No technical specs not even a hint at a card with that model number. The 
german Samsung page doesn´t find any 64 GB SDHC card at all.

Ciao,
