Does any of that explain why the S-V guidance computer worked just fine
when the Apollo computer had been knocked sideways by lighting on Apollo

I don't know, have no data, but I always thought about just that issue.


The explanation I heard was that the Apollo computer being in a
smaller volume and nearer the strike was exposed to higher EMF effects
than the S-V computer.
