Is it possible to implement the 8-way 16-bit mux using some of my newly created 4-way 16 bit mux gates? I would think that should work but I'm mainly having problems with how to handle the selector. As the hdl description shows, sel in the 4-way chip is two bits (as in sel[2]) but the 8-way chip has a three bit selector (as in sel[3]) and I'm not sure how to pass that along correctly. Any help would be appreciated, I'm teaching myself here so I don't have a teacher and/or classmates to point me in the right direction, thanks.
