I don't suppose any of the 244's are socketed are they? So they can just be swapped over. I had a similar problem on my Triton (which does exactly the same with two 244's on the address bus incidentally) although in my instance it was on the inbound Keyboard which is also a 244.
No - they're both soldered to the motherboard, but I'm getting more confident at de-soldering and putting in sockets now.
