 		 #118899 - Whenever you use shift registers for I/O
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Whenever you use shift registers for I/O without a protocol you ARE using SPI. You may call it 'mother', 'acme' or whatever, but it will still be SPI.
The only difference between a bunch of SPI devices and a bunch of shift registers is than a SPI device can be deselected and then will simply transfer input to output.
I have, in many cases used SPI (the efficient hardware kind) to drive I/O shift registers. As a matter of fact one of my products is, for all practical purposes, a 2500 bit shift register driven by SPI.
