The DS2408 is discontinued, too. I think the chips will be available a while 
through brokers, though the price could rise. The DS2423 is hard to get 
already.

(Other useful chips like the DS2409 are discontinued, too. I think it is time 
to think about home-brewn replacement parts using AVR or PIC controllers.)

No. The inputs of 74HC590 are *not* schmitt-trigger ones. So there is no 
hysteresis, but a really tiny gap at 1/2 Vdd where the input may toggle at 
high speed. To avoid this, the transition must be as fast as possible.

So either remove the RC filter (C1) from the input or better, put 1/6 40106 
between the filter and the 74HC590 clock inputs. You could skip Q1, R3, R2 in 
that case, too, the 40106 will do the amplifying and inversion.

No. RSTZ is an input. It can be used by an external circuit to switch off the 
PIO outputs to avoid a "wired-or" of the input data with the current output 
data.
