Default NY Times, Computer Flaw Could Imperil Space Station

This gives a good general idea of how the computers are arranged. They
are fault tolerant and in a voting scheme.

My guess is that if all 3 computers are given erroneous information,
they would have no way to decide how to act and probably act like those
computers that Kirk managed to disable by just asking them some
difficult question.
