so in PETSCII art software for c64 i am using the uIEC/SD card reader to load software and am having problems saving.
F3 is save to device 8 but device 8 is the floppy drive and i need to save it to device 10 which is the sd card reader.
is there anyway to change the default save device from 8 to 10? i really want to make a PETSCII art demo already pls help!?

Read your device's docs. You can change it by means of a BASIC command:
At least for SD2IEC, it's:
OPEN1,current address,15,"U0>"+CHR$(new address):CLOSE1 <- change sd2iec device number to new address
OPEN1,device address,15,"XW":close1 <- this will save settings to eeprom (required if you want to set new device address as default)
But disconnect the floppy drive, or you will have a conflict.
Also some software isn't compatible with these devices, you may no be able to save anyway if that is the case.

Maybe your firmware is different.
Try this:
OPEN 15,CD,15,"U0>"+CHR$(ND):CLOSE15 (where CD = current device number and ND = new device number, 08 in your case). To make it permanent (as in "survives a power-cycle"), send the command "XW"
It's basically the same but it opens 15 instead of 1, which does seem odd on the first example but SHOULDN'T give a syntax error.
As i said, read the docs: http://www.c64-wiki.com/index.php/%C2%B5IEC
