(1)  The shares covered by this Registration Statement represent 500,000 shares
     of Common Stock which have become available for issuance under the
     Registrant's 1993 Incentive Stock Plan as a result of an amendment approved
     by the shareholders at the Registrant's Annual Meeting held on June 2, 1998
     increasing the number of shares authorized for issuance thereunder from
     897,000 to 1,397,000. After giving effect to a one-for-four reverse stock
     split (the "Reverse Split") of the Company's Common Stock effective on July
     7, 1998, the Registrant is hereby registering 125,000 post-split shares
     pursuant to this Registration Statement. As a result of the Reverse Split,
     the number of shares authorized for issuance under the Registrant's 1993
     Incentive Stock Plan is currently 349,250.

(2)  Estimated in accordance with Rule 457(c) solely for the purpose of
     calculating the registration fee based upon the average of the high and low
     prices of the Common Stock as reported on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market on
     July 8, 1998.

    Re:  Registration Statement on Form S-8
         ----------------------------------

Gentlemen:

    We have examined the Registration Statement on Form S-8 to be filed by you
with the Securities and Exchange Commission on or about July 10, 1998 (the
"Registration Statement") in connection with the registration under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of an aggregate of 125,000 shares of your
Common Stock under the 1993 Incentive Stock Plan.  Such shares of Common Stock
are referred to herein as the "Shares", and such plan is referred to herein as
the "Plan".  As legal counsel for SoloPoint, Inc., we have examined the
proceedings taken and are familiar with the proceedings proposed to be taken by
you in connection with the issuance and sale of the Shares pursuant to the Plan.

    It is our opinion that the Shares, when issued and sold in the manner
described in the Plan, and pursuant to the agreement that accompanies each grant
under the Plan, will be legally and validly issued, fully-paid and non-
assessable.

    We consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement, and further consent to the use of our name wherever appearing in the
Registration Statement and any amendments thereto.

                              Very truly yours,

                              WILSON SONSINI GOODRICH & ROSATI
