Does anybody know of something along the lines of a '595 (8-bit serial to
parallel latch) that can drive large loads at 5v?  I've seen some with 500mA
outputs, but I need double that.  I'm not sure yet if all outputs will be on
at once, the spec is a little vague.

Current thinking is to use something like the '595 and add mosfets or the
Allegro drivers (2003, 2801 etc) and parallel the outputs, so then I'd need
3 chips (yeah yeah, I know, the 2003 is 7 bit).

Usually qualifiers - ultra cheap and available from everyone in huge
quantities - apply.  Prefer surface mount, DIP may ok.
