that's what i was thinking which is why i checked the whole board 
again. it's probably not the 74hc138 as i've already tried switching 
the 2 on the mainboard around and there's no different response. i 
haven't tried the 573 but i don't have any spares around and that one 
shop is closing in 20 minutes.. 1st thing tomorrow. 
i'll just sit here and admire the box until then. ;)
