Move to FPGA... I strongly doubt you can get to 125MHz. Even in the
cheaper FPGA's (like the Xilinx Spartan 2 series) 125MHz may be
pushing the limits. If you want to run a circuit consisting of logic
gates at 125MHz, ECL is probably the only way to go.

Anyway, how about using 8 XOR ports and an 8 input or-port?
