Soooo... Looks like it could be:

       1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
N13: ? ? ?
L12: ?
K10: ?

Mmmmmmmmm. I wonder if Vortex/Aliens freak out over Free-play? I know I
tested that on Breakout, but I can't swear I tested it on Vortex/Aliens.
(Of course Aliens *is* free-play 'cause it's hardcoded to always have
credits.)

Well, seems like in 32 tests or less I should be able to narrow down all the
possibilities. More likely than not it'll just be one particular switch
too...

I think two of them arre unused and the other two control the coin counters?
