ITEM 11	EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

                             COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS

Directors who are employees of Datapoint receive no additional compensation for
serving on the Board of Directors or its committees.  Each director who is not
an employee of Datapoint receives fees as follows:  Each non-employee director 
receives an annual fee of $15,000, payable in quarterly installments.  Executive
Committee members receive an additional $5,000 annual fee.  Committee Chairmen
receive an additional $2,000 annual fee.  Board members serving on more than one
committee receive an additional $1,000 annual fee.  Each non-employee director
also receives a fee of $750 for each Board meeting attended, $500 for each
committee meeting attended and $500 for attendance at each meeting on
Datapoint's business other than a Board of Directors or committee meeting.  Each
non-employee director is, at Datapoint's expense, provided with $50,000 of group
term life insurance and $250,000 accidental death insurance.  Each non-employee 
director has the option to purchase, at his own expense, coverage for himself 
and his dependents under Datapoint's group medical and dental insurance plan.

Datapoint maintains a retirement plan and a retirement medical care plan to 
cover non-employee Board members.  Both plans presently are purely contractual
rather than funded, and are self-insured except that retirees are required to 
participate in Medicare parts A and B.  The retirement plan provides for a 
maximum annual benefit equal to a director's annual retainer in effect on the 
date of retirement.  A partial benefit will be paid to directors with less than 
five years' service, and a full benefit will be paid to directors with five or 
more years of service.  The benefit will be payable for the greater of ten 
years or life, and in the event a retiree should die within ten years of 
retirement, the remaining benefit will be paid to his estate.  The retirement 
medical care plan affords non-employee directors, upon retirement, benefits and
premiums equivalent to COBRA coverage available to certain former employees 
and/or dependents under Datapoint's group medical plan.

Director Thomas has worked since August 1994 as a special consultant for which 
he has received compensation of $500 per day payable in shares of common stock 
until May 1, 1995.  Subsequently, on  May 5, 1995, in consideration of the 
additional work and responsibilities he has taken on for the Company as a
special consultant, the Board of Directors approved a special compensation 
package for Director Thomas. From May 1, 1995, through July 31, 1995, he will be
paid at the rate of $500 per day for his services, plus travel and housing 
expenses, plus additional compensation of a flat $2,000 per week. Director 
Thomas will also be entitled to participate in the Executive Health Benefit 
program of the Company. The Board also approved a one time special issuance of 
45,000 shares of common stock of the Company to Director Thomas in recognition 
of his service to the Company. During the term of the agreement with Director 
Thomas, he will not accrue nor receive any regular Board or committee fees.

Director Ruffat has received compensation of $10,000 per month since January 
1994 for consultant services.

                              EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

In 1992, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission amended the proxy 
disclosure requirements covering compensation of executive officers.  These 
requirements call for a new format that includes a report by the Compensation 
Committee on Datapoint's policies for making executive compensation decisions, 
including the factors and criteria on which the chief executive officer's 
("CEO") pay is based;  a series of tables covering annual and long-term 
compensation;  and a performance graph comparing the Company's five-year 
cumulative total stockholder return with the cumulative return a broad market 
index and another selected index.

Compensation Committee Report

Datapoint's executive compensation program is based on three fundamental 
principles.

Datapoint must offer compensation opportunities sufficient to attract, retain 
and reward talented executives who are sufficiently capable of addressing the 
challenges of a worldwide business in a difficult industry.

Compensation should include a substantial component of pay-for-performance 
sufficiently related to the financial results of the Company and/or the 
executive's performance to financially motivate the executive's efforts to 
increase stockholder value.  This may cause individual compensation amounts to 
change significantly from year to year.

Compensation should provide a direct link between the long-term interests of 
executives and stockholders.  Through the use of stock-based incentives, the 
Compensation Committee focuses the attention of executives on managing the 
Company from the perspective of an owner with an equity stake.

For executive officers, compensation now consists primarily of base salary, a 
short-term performance incentive opportunity in the form of a variable cash 
bonus based on either the financial performance of the Company or of their area 
of responsibility, and a long-term incentive opportunity provided by stock 
options.

The committee also obtains ratification by the non-employee members of the Board
on most aspects of compensation and long-term incentives for executive officers.

The remainder of this Report reviews the annual and long-term components of 
Datapoint's executive compensation program, along with the decisions made by the
committee regarding fiscal year 1994 compensation for both the CEO and the other
named executive officers.



Total Annual Compensation

Annual cash compensation consists of two components - a fixed base salary and a
variable annual bonus opportunity.  As an executive's level of responsibility
increases, a larger portion of total annual pay is based on bonus and less on 
salary.  None of the named executives received a salary change during the past 
year other than Mr. David Berger through promotion, and Mr. Edelman's salary was
last increased in December, 1990.  The Committee sets the base salary of 
executive officers based upon a subjective analysis of competitive salaries of 
equally qualified executives, occasionally confirmed by reference to general 
salary surveys;  prior compensation of the individual or of previous holders of 
the position is also considered.  Contractual minimum base salaries are 
customarily negotiated with the executives.

The short-term performance incentive bonus opportunity is established either as
a percentage, unique for each individual, of a numerical corporate performance 
indicia, or as a target percentage of pay which is the amount that can be earned
based upon assigned objectives being met.  Performance is measured as a percent 
of attainment against these objectives.  When performance exceeds objectives, an
executive's incentive pay can exceed the target rate, and when it falls below, 
as was the case in fiscal years 1994 and 1993, individual incentive pay is 
reduced accordingly.

Mr. Edelman's and Mrs. Bencsik's bonuses are based on a contractually specified
percentage of Datapoint's pre-tax profits, which are defined as net pre-tax 
earnings, excluding the excess over $10 million of the net of any extraordinary 
gains, due to debt repurchase or exchange, against all extraordinary losses.  
During fiscal year 1994, the Company incurred net losses and therefore no
bonuses were paid in 1994 under these contractual arrangements.

The remainder of the named executives have been assigned bonus targets of 30-33%
of their base salary based upon 100% achievement of individualized goals and 
objectives, a substantial portion of which are related to the financial 
performance of corporate functions relevant to their respective 
responsibilities.  No named executive was paid a bonus for fiscal year 1994.

Long Term Incentives

The committee believes that stock options appropriately link executive interests
to the enhancement of stockholder value and utilizes them as its long-term 
incentive program; no additional long-term incentive programs are utilized.  
Stock options generally are granted at fair market value as of the date of 
grant, become exercisable over three years, and have a term of ten years.  The 
stock options provide value to the recipients only when the price of Datapoint
stock increases above the option grant price.

In 1993, the committee granted stock options to executive officers, as well as 
to other executives and selected key employees.  In determining the size of the
grant for Mr. Edelman and the other named executive officers, the committee 
assessed the following factors: their potential by position and ability (i) to 
contribute to the creation of long-term stockholder value; (ii) to contribute to
the successful execution of Datapoint's product line broadening strategy; and 
(iii) to implement Datapoint's cost reduction objectives; (iv) their relative 
levels of responsibility; and (v) the number of options they already held.

This report has been provided by the Compensation Committee.

(1)	No Stock Appreciation Rights (SARs) have ever been granted by Datapoint.
(2)	Each grant becomes exercisable in three equal annual installments commencing
    on the first anniversary date.
(3)	The dollar amounts under these columns are the result of calculations at the
    5% and 10% rates required by the SEC and, therefore, are not intended to 
    forecast possible future appreciation, if any, of the stock price.
(4)	These options become completely exercisable immediately should Datapoint 
    terminate Mrs. Bencsik's employment without her consent, other than for 
    cause.
(5)	These amounts represent the increase in the market value of Datapoint's 
    outstanding shares (14.4 million) as of July 30, 1994, that would result
    from the same stock price assumptions used to show the potential realizable
    value for the named executives.

ITEM 13	CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS


As of July 30, 1994, the Company's Board Chairman Edelman and 
directors/Compensation Committee members Agranoff, Kail and former Company 
director Dwight D. Sutherland were also directors of Intelogic Trace, Inc.
("Intelogic"), comprising four of Intelogic's six directors. These directors
resigned from Intelogic, however, on December 8, 1994. [Intelogic filed a 
voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the
U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Western District of Texas, San Antonio Division, Case No.
94-52172-C-11 on August 5, 1994. Intelogic emerged from bankruptcy pursuant to
approval of a modified first amended plan of reorganization on November 28, 
1994. However, on March 16, 1995, Intelogic again filed for bankruptcy 
protection under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court,
Western District of Texas, San Antonio Division, Case No. 95-50753-LMC-11. 
During that proceeding, substantially all of Intelogic's operating assets were
sold to a third party on April 5, 1995.  Intelogic is effectively no longer in
business.]

As such however, the above directors/Compensation Committee members did receive 
compensation and/or benefits from Intelogic prior to their resignations. Also, 
these directors and former director may be deemed to have beneficially owned
approximately 15% of Intelogic's common stock as of July 30, 1994.  In addition,
they had options to purchase shares of Intelogic common stock equal in the 
aggregate to approximately 1% of the amount then outstanding. The overlap of
directors does not give rise to a reportable compensation committee interlock.

Since the 1985 spin-off of Intelogic from being Datapoint's U.S. computer
hardware maintenance division up until April 5, 1995, when substantially all of
its operating assets were sold to a third party, Datapoint engaged in and 
continued to engage in various transactions with Intelogic as an independent
computer maintenance company. All such transactions were billed to Intelogic by
Datapoint at its cost.  All other transactions between Datapoint and Intelogic
were pursuant to a Master Maintenance Agreement entered into at the time of the
spin-off and related to the ordinary business operations of both Datapoint and
Intelogic.  For fiscal years 1994, 1993 and 1992, Intelogic paid Datapoint 
approximately $196,000, $366,000 and $688,000, respectively, for equipment and
field support spares, royalties and expenses, and Datapoint paid Intelogic 
approximately $28,000, $246,000 and $162,000, respectively, primarily for 
services and sales.  Included in accounts receivable are amounts due from 
Intelogic of $298,000, $315,000 and $300,000, respectively. 

During fiscal year 1991, Datapoint sold its outstanding stock in Datapoint 
Canada, a wholly-owned subsidiary, to Intelogic.  The proceeds consisted of 
$350,000, in cash and 25,000 shares of Intelogic preferred stock, redeemable at
the option of Intelogic, in escalating amounts, beginning at $62.50 per share on
or before November 9, 1992, and increasing to $100.00 per share on or before
November 10, 1994, until a mandatory redemption date of November 9, 1995.  The
preferred stock was to also accrue dividends at an annual rate of $10.00 per
share, if paid in cash, or at an annual rate of $18.00 per share if paid in
additional shares of preferred stock.  As an element of the transaction, 
the parties caused Datapoint Canada to repay approximately $1,300,000 in 
operating capital loans provided to Datapoint Canada as a subsidiary of 
Datapoint.  No gain or loss was recorded in sale. As an aspect of consideration
for the sale, Datapoint received a five-year option to purchase substantially 
all of Intelogic's holdings of Datapoint's common and preferred stock.  The 
option allowed Datapoint to purchase from Intelogic up to 2,700,000 shares of 
Datapoint common stock for $0.75 a share and up to 85,000 shares of $4.94 
Datapoint preferred stock for $1.375 a share.  The $4.94 preferred shares owned
by Intelogic were exchanged for $1.00 preferred shares and 170,000 shares of 
common stock in the Preferred Stock Exchange. Datapoint exercised its 
preferred stock option and retired 85,000 shares of $1.00 preferred stock and
170,000 shares of common stock.

However, in September 1994, the Company reached an agreement with Intelogic, in 
conjunction with Intelogic's court approved reorganization, to cancel its option
to purchase at $0.75 per share, its common stock held by Intelogic in exchange
for all of the Company's holdings of Intelogic preferred stock which had no
carrying value. As a result of the exchange, the Company received from Intelogic
2,400,000 shares of Datapoint common stock.

Director Agranoff provided various tax, legal and real estate consulting 
services for Datapoint.  During 1994, 1993 and 1992, Datapoint paid Mr. Agranoff
$126,000, $104,000 and $87,000, respectively, for those services.  During fiscal
year 1994, Datapoint paid legal fees of $5,000 to the law firm of Pryor,
Cashman, Sherman & Flynn, to which firm Mr. Agranoff is of counsel, for legal
services provided by attorneys other than Mr. Agranoff.
