Here's a link to the NASA press release describing all the details to that fix of the Galileo orbiter. I remembered it because I sometimes work at JPL and walked into a lab where a JPL-er was packing up what looked like a home-brew old time reel-to-reel tape player. It turned out that it was the sister device to the Galileo flight system and the guy I was talking to was one of the brains who had figured out the fix! JPL press release
