Actually, this is a bit of overkill, since the 74185 is a six-bit-in,
eight-bit-out part, which would imply a 64x8 PROM.  I suppose fuse-programmed
PROMs that small still exist.  However, I guess if you're not limited by
board space, the venerable 2716 EPROM (or it's bigger descendents) would do
the job.  I guess I'm spoiled - my first thought, when I need a simple logic
function, is to reach for a 20V8 or 22V10 GAL...
