Try redrawing this in a conventional manner, with Vcc at the top.
I started looking at this diagram but I lost interest the minute
I saw that I was going to have to unravel the circuit before
considering it.  There's only so much time people are willing to
invest in considering a news post.


Are you talking about the way the emitter on the PNP is the bottom pin
rather than the top pin? If so:

At this point you can put on a shift register and actually use fewer
pins on the micro.
