[sdiy] Shift register options

[Roman Sowa]

FWIW, I use them by hundreds, if not thousands without any problems, 
just to control LEDs. Work like a charm.
I love the idea of having almost all outputs at one side of the IC.

You may try some open-drain (TPIC6C595) versions to boost LED current up 
to 100mA, but beware, they have totally different pinout. OTOH any 
modern LED gives blinding light at mere 5mA
