The computer in question dates back to the 1980s and is responsible for controlling science instruments within the telescope. It shut down Sunday, with a damaged memory designated as a possible cause, the Associated Press reported.

Well WTF thats no help; tell us you need a 2mb 30 pin stick or whatever. Us geeks with deep closets will dig for the Hubble.
