I can easily come up with a list of tens or perhaps even hundreds of xx74yy595z parts that are all compatible, as far as software is concerned. As SPI was invented by Motorola, the original part is probably named MC74595 or MC74LS595 (yes, ON Semiconductor bought the logic division of Motorola). Perhaps we need a separate vendor prefix for the 74xx-series[1]? The xx-prefix and z-suffix don't matter; the yy-infix for semiconductor technology rarely matters (there are a few exceptions, though, mostly pinout, which doesn't matter for software). Thanks!
