Back in the old days, you'd use something like the 74LS682. Feed it two
8-bit numbers, and it would tell you if they are equal. There was
another that matched 12 bits (or was it more?) against a constant.
Quite clever - rearrange the bits so that all of the ones are at one
end, then just tell it how many there are. But I can't remember the
number, and can't find it anywhere.
These days, the answer to just about every digital design question is
either a GAL (or other programmable logic), or a microcontroller.
