Item 1. Financial Statements.

The condensed consolidated financial statements of Data General
Corporation (the "company"), consisting of condensed consolidated
statements of operations for the three and six months ended March 30,
1996 and March 25, 1995, condensed consolidated balance sheets as of
March 30, 1996 and September 30, 1995, condensed consolidated statements
of cash flows for the six months ended March 30, 1996 and March 25, 1995,
and the related notes to condensed consolidated financial statements, are
incorporated herein by reference to pages 3 through 6 of the company's
Second Quarter 1996 Interim Report.  The Second Quarter 1996 Interim
Report has been included as Exhibit 19 to copies of this Report filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Copies of the Interim
Report may be obtained by written request to the company, Attn: Investor
Relations, MS 9S, 3400 Computer Drive, Westboro, MA  01580 or through the
company's world wide web site at:  http://www.dg.com.


Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
         Results of Operations.

Financial Condition

Cash and temporary cash investments as of March 30, 1996 were $130.4 million,
an increase of $13.2 million from the end of fiscal 1995.  In addition, the
company holds $60.3 million in marketable securities, a net decrease of $11.3
million during the current six-month period.  In total, cash and temporary 
cash investments along with marketable securities were relatively flat for 
the current six-month period.  The securities, which supplement cash and 
temporary cash investments, are primarily invested in United States treasury 
bills and notes.  The marketable securities include an equity security of 
$15.4 million recorded at fair market value and classified as available 
for sale.  The unrealized gain on marketable securities of $14.0 million is
recorded as a separate component of shareholders' equity.  Net cash provided
from operations for the six months ended March 30, 1996 totaled $39.6 
million; expenditures for property, plant, and equipment were $50.7 million;
capitalized software development costs totaled $14.5 million; and cash 
provided from stock plans totaled $5.3 million.  The effect of foreign 
currency exchange rate fluctuations on cash and temporary cash investments 
was a decrease of $.9 million.

     Net receivables were $256.2 million, an increase of $5.1 million from
$251.1 million at fiscal year-end 1995 due to increased revenue.  Total
inventories at March 30, 1996 were $125.2 million, an increase of $1.1
million from fiscal year-end 1995 levels primarily due to an increase in end-
of-quarter inventory procurements.  Fixed asset dispositions for the current
six-month period totaled $5.9 million, primarily due to the sale of
demonstration equipment.  Management expects that sales of demonstration
equipment will continue.  Less than 15% of the company's total net fixed
assets relate to the company's proprietary ECLIPSE MV ("MV") family of
products; these assets are primarily comprised of spare parts required to
support the MV service base of over 19,000 installed units worldwide as well
as those MVs which are serviced by third parties.

     The increase of $2.7 million in accounts payable from fiscal year-end
1995 levels was attributed mainly to the increase in inventory levels and
the timing of payments relating to this activity.  Other current liabilities
decreased $11.8 million from fiscal year-end 1995.  This decrease was 
primarily a result of reduced employee related accruals and the payments 
made relating to the previously recorded restructuring accruals.  Long-term 
debt, including the current portion of long-term debt, decreased a total 
of $3.0 million from fiscal 1995 year-end as a result of the company 
reacquiring a portion of the 8 3/8% Sinking Fund Debentures due in 2002.

     During fiscal years 1995 and 1994, the company recorded restructuring
charges of $43 million and $35 million, respectively.  No additional charges
or material changes in estimates to prior provisions were recorded during the
first six-month period of fiscal 1996.  The following table sets forth the
company's restructuring activities for the period ended March 30, 1996.  All
charges, excluding asset writedowns and certain other charges, are cash in
nature and funded from operations.

                                 =====             =======              =====

     During the first six months of the current year there were approximately
94 employee terminations relating to the 1995 restructuring charges.  The
remaining reserves at March 30, 1996 are for the future termination of
approximately 116 employees as part of the continuing realignment of the
company's worldwide sales, service, and other operations.  The number of
employee terminations noted above refers only to those impacted by
restructuring actions.  They are not indicative of the change in total
worldwide headcount which also reflects attrition and new hires.  The
charges and remaining provisions for leases are for the closure of various
domestic branch sales offices and excess vacant rental properties, primarily
located in Europe.

Results of Operations

     Total revenues for the quarter ended March 30, 1996 increased 18% to
$335.2 million from the same quarter of the previous year.  Domestic
revenues, excluding U.S. direct export sales, were $194.8 million for
the current quarter, a 30% increase from $150.1 million for the comparable
period of fiscal 1995.  Domestic revenues represented 58% of total revenues
for the current quarter and 53% of total revenues for the second quarter of
fiscal 1995.  European revenues, including U.S. direct export sales into
the European marketplace, were $95.1 million, an increase of 3% from $92.2
million for the comparable period in fiscal 1995.  This increase is primarily
a result of increased U.S. direct export sales.  European revenues
represented 28% and 32% of total revenues in the current and prior-year
periods, respectively.  Other international revenues, including U.S. direct
export sales, were $45.3 million for the current quarter, a 9% increase from
$41.5 million for the comparable period in fiscal 1995.  Other international
revenues represented 14% of total revenues for the current quarter and 15%
for the comparable prior-year period.

     Total domestic revenues of $383.6 million for the six months ended March
30, 1996 increased 24% from $310.1 million for the first six-month period of
fiscal 1995.  Domestic revenues were 58% of total revenues for the current
six-month period and 55% of total revenues for the comparable prior-year
period.  European revenues, including U.S. direct export sales into the
European marketplace, were $192.6 million, an increase of 10% from $175.0
million for the comparable period in fiscal 1995.  This increase is
primarily a result of increased U.S. direct export sales.  European
revenues represented 29% and 31% of total revenues in the current six-month
and comparable prior-year periods, respectively.  Other international 
revenues, including U.S. direct export sales, were $86.6 million for the 
current six-month period, a 7% increase from $80.9 million for the 
comparable prior-year period.  Other international revenues represented
13% and 14% of total revenues for the current six-month period and the
comparable prior-year period, respectively.

     Product revenues of $236.7 million for the current quarter ended March
30, 1996 increased 29% from the comparable prior-year period.  Revenues from
the company's AViiON family of open systems server products remained
relatively unchanged at $115.2 million from the comparable period of the
prior year.  In the current quarter, the company experienced continued
revenue growth in its Intel-based AViiON systems while experiencing a modest
decline in the Motorola-based AViiON systems revenue as compared to the
previous quarter.  The company expects the Motorola-based AViiON systems
revenue will continue to decline.  Product revenues from the company's Open
CLARiiON storage systems nearly tripled from the comparable prior-year period
and accounted for 41% of total product revenues in the current quarter.
Open CLARiiON product revenues in the second quarter of fiscal year 1996
remained relatively unchanged as compared with the first quarter of the
current fiscal year.  Open CLARiiON is sold primarily through the company's
Original Equipment Manufacturer ("OEM") and distributor channels; thus sales
in any given period are subject to customer sales cycles and inventory 
levels.  The reduction of these inventory levels during the recent quarter 
impacted product revenues.  Product revenues have been concentrated in a 
limited number of customers.  For the current quarter, a significant 
portion of the company's Open CLARiiON product revenues were to a single 
OEM.  Open CLARiiON product revenues in any quarter may not be indicative 
of future Open CLARiiON product revenues.  Proprietary MV system revenues 
declined $5.7 million from the same period in the prior-year and currently 
represent 3% of total product revenues compared to 7% for the comparable 
prior-year period.  The company expects to see a continued decline in its 
proprietary MV product line as it completes its transition to Open systems.
Product revenues from personal computers and peripheral equipment declined 
$4.4 million from the same period in the prior-year and currently represent
7% of total product revenues compared to 12% for the comparable prior-year 
period.

     Domestic product revenues, which were $137.8 million for the current
quarter, increased 47% from $93.6 million for the comparable period in fiscal
1995.  Domestic product revenues were 58% of total product revenues for the
current quarter and 51% of total product revenues in the comparable prior-
year period.  European product revenues were $63.5 million for the current
quarter, a 6% increase from $59.8 million in the comparable prior-year
period.  European product revenues represented 27% of total product revenues
for the current quarter and 33% for the comparable prior-year period.  Other
international product revenues were $35.4 million for the current quarter, an
increase of 15% from $30.6 million for the comparable period in fiscal 1995.
Other international product revenues represented 15% of total product
revenues in the current quarter and 17% of total product revenues in the
comparable prior-year period.  The increase in domestic and European product
revenues is primarily a result of Open CLARiiON shipments to these
marketplaces.

     Product revenues of $464.4 million for the six months ended March 30,
1996 increased 27% from $365.2 million for the first six-month period of
fiscal 1995.  Domestic product revenues of $269.7 million for the first
six-month period of the current year increased 37% from $197.1 million
for the first six-month period of fiscal 1995.  Domestic product revenues
represented 58% of total product revenues in the current six-month period
and 54% of total product revenues in the prior-year period.  European 
product revenues of $128.6 million for the first six-month period of the 
current year increased 17% from $110.0 million for the first six-month 
period of fiscal 1995.  European product revenues represented 28% of total 
product revenues in the current six-month period and 30% of total product 
revenues in the comparable prior-year period.  Other international product 
revenues were $66.1 million for the current six-month period, compared 
with $58.1 million for the comparable period in fiscal 1995.  Other 
international product revenues represented 14% and 16% of total product 
revenues for the current six-month and prior-year periods, respectively.

     Service revenues for the current quarter were $98.5 million, a decrease
from $99.8 million in the comparable period of fiscal 1995.  Domestic service
revenues for the current quarter were $57.0 million, relatively unchanged
from $56.5 million in the comparable prior-year period.  European service
revenues were $31.6 million, a decrease from $32.4 million for the
comparable prior-year period.  Other international service revenues for the
current quarter were $9.9 million, a decrease from $10.9 million for
the comparable prior-year period.

     Service revenues for the current six-month period were $198.4 million,
compared to $200.8 million for the first six-month period of fiscal year 1995.
For the current six-month period, domestic service revenues were $113.8
million, a slight increase from $113.0 million in the first six-month period
of fiscal 1995.  European service revenues for the current six-month period
were $64.0 million, a slight decrease from $65.0 million reported for the
first six-month period of fiscal 1995.  Other international service revenues
were $20.6 million for the current six-month period, a 10% decrease compared
to $22.8 million reported for the first six-month period of fiscal year 1995.

     Cost of revenues increased to 67% of total revenues for the current
quarter and current six-month period ended March 30, 1996, compared with 66%
for the same periods in fiscal 1995.  Cost of product revenues increased to
68% of product revenues for the current quarter and current six-month period,
compared with 66% of product revenues for the same periods of the prior year.
The increase in cost of product revenues was the result of increased sales
volume of Open CLARiiON storage systems, which have lower relative gross
margins because of the distribution channels in which they are sold, as
well as continued price competition in the commercial server marketplace.
Cost of service revenues was 65% of service revenues for the current quarter
and current six-month period, compared with approximately 64% for the same
periods in fiscal 1995.  The company continues to see a shift in service
revenues towards increased professional service sales, which yield a lower
margin than traditional maintenance contract revenues.

     Research and development expenses for the current quarter were $23.9
million, a 22% increase from $19.6 million for the second quarter of fiscal
1995.  Research and development expenses represented 7% of total revenues for
both the current quarter and the same prior-year period.  Research and
development expenses for the current six-month period were $45.6 million,
an 11% increase from $41.3 million for the same period of the prior-year.
The company continued to focus its research and development efforts on its
core business technology, multi-user computer systems, servers, and mass
storage devices.  In the current six-month period, gross expenditures on
research and development and software development before capitalization,
were $60.1 million, an increase of 11% from $54.0 million for the comparable
prior-year period.

    Selling, general, and administrative expenses for the current quarter
were $78.2 million, a decrease of 10% from $87.1 million for the comparable
quarter of fiscal 1995.  Selling, general, and administrative expenses
represented 23% and 31% of total revenues in the current quarter and in the
comparable prior-year period, respectively.  Selling, general, and
administrative expenses for the current six-month period were $155.4 million,
a decrease of 10% from $173.1 million for the prior-year period.  The decrease
in expenses was a result of ongoing cost reductions that the company had
undertaken to maintain its competitive position.  At March 30, 1996 the
number of employees totaled 4,945, a reduction of approximately 85 and 640
employees from September 30, 1995 and March 25, 1995, respectively.

     Interest income for the current quarter was $1.8 million, a 31%
decrease from $2.6 million for the comparable period of fiscal 1995, due to
lower levels of invested cash.  Interest expense for the current quarter was
$3.4 million, a slight decrease from $3.5 million for the comparable period
of fiscal 1995.

     The income tax provision for the current quarter was $1.0 million
compared to $.5 million for the comparable prior-year period.  The current
year provision relates primarily to foreign and state taxes.

(a)   For the quarters and six-month periods ended March 30, 1996, and March
25, 1995, the assumed conversion of convertible debentures, giving effect to
the incremental shares and the adjustment to reduce interest expense, results
in anti-dilution and has therefore been excluded from the computation.   For
the quarter ended March 25, 1995, the assumed exercise of options outstanding
under the company's stock options plan using the treasury stock method, is
anti-dilutive and has been excluded from the computation.



                                                                  EXHIBIT 19

TO OUR STOCKHOLDERS, CUSTOMERS AND EMPLOYEES:

Data General reported net income of $6.3 million, or $.15 per share, on
revenues of $335.2 million for its second quarter of fiscal 1996, which
ended March 30.  The second quarter revenues were 18 percent higher than
revenues for last year's comparable quarter of $283.8 million.  For the
second quarter last year, the company reported a net loss of $11.1 million,
or $.30 per share.

The second quarter results were encouraging, with total revenues up 18
percent over the prior year, and with profitability for the third consecutive
quarter.  Product revenues increased 29 percent over the comparable quarter
last year based on increased revenues from our Open CLARiiON storage line.  
Total revenues from the AViiON server line were approximately the same as 
last year's second quarter.

We have seen a continued ramp up in revenues of our new Intel processor-
based AViiON server line, although the majority of our AViiON sales this
past quarter continued to be from our Motorola based server line.  We are
well positioned for AViiON revenue growth from our powerful new Intel based
products.

Our Open CLARiiON storage line again posted solid results nearly tripling
the revenues reported in last year's second quarter.  CLARiiON continues 
to be the leading provider of advanced high availability and data integrity
storage capabilities to the open enterprise.

Since the end of the first quarter, we have made three significant AViiON-
related announcements.

In late January we said that Data General would work with Dolphin
Interconnect Solutions Inc. to develop a standard interconnect technology
for large-scale computing.  Our two companies are working with Intel
Corporation to promote the technology, which will allow companies throughout
the industry to link multiple Intel SHV (Standard High Volume) servers into
commercial systems that perform at levels far beyond today's most powerful
symmetric multi-processing systems.  The first interconnect products will be
available later this year.

We also announced that we are partnering with BDM International, Inc. to
provide the industry's highest level of security to enterprises wishing to
conduct business over the Internet, and internally via Intranets.

In addition, we joined with other industry leaders, including Intel, Compaq,
ICL, NCR and Unisys, to announce support for SCO UnixWare as the first shrink-
wrapped, enterprise-level UNIX operating system for Intel servers.  Our
ability to offer three operating systems - our own DG/UX UNIX operating
system, SCO UnixWare, as well as Windows NT Server - will open new
opportunities for Data General.

Since the close of the first quarter, our CLARiiON Business Unit also has
expanded its market reach with a number of announcements, including an
agreement with Sequent Computer Systems, which will resell CLARiiON disk
arrays with its high-end line of Symmetry 5000 servers.  The CLARiiON unit
also announced agreements with Everex Systems, Inc. and Tech Data Corporation
to resell CLARiiON storage subsystems into the fast growing NT server
marketplace.  In addition, the CLARiiON unit announced support for NCR's
UNIX based servers.  CLARiiON now supports all major UNIX platforms.

Our financial position continues to be strong with cash and marketable
securities of $190.7 million at the end of the second quarter.

For the first six months of fiscal 1996, Data General reported net income
of $11.0 million, or $.27 per share.  For the same period last year Data
General reported net income of $13.1 million, or $.35 per share.  The 1995
figures included a one-time, pre-tax gain of $44.5 million resulting from
the settlement of a software copyright and infringement and trade secret
lawsuit against Northrop Grumman Corporation.

Revenues for the first two quarters of 1996 totaled $662.8 million, compared
to $566.0 for the first six months of fiscal 1995.

While we are still in a period of product transition and remain cautious for
the short term, the positive results thus far in fiscal 1996 are 
reinforcement of our strategy.  We have solidified our position as a 
technology leader with both our AViiON server and CLARiiON storage lines.  
AViiON is positioned to take full advantage of the industry's move to 
Intel as the dominant platform for large-scale commercial computing and 
CLARiiON has a wide breadth of opportunity in the UNIX and NT marketplaces.

   In March 1996, a certain equity security, held by the company as an 
investment and previously accounted for under the cost method, began 
trading on a public stock exchange.  In accordance with Statement of 
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 115, this security is now 
considered to be readily marketable and is accounted for at fair market 
value.  The security is classified as available for sale with the 
corresponding unrealized holding gain included as a separate component of 
shareholders' equity.

Note 3.  Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates
   The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally 
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and 
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the 
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses 
during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from these 
estimates.
   In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed 
consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of 
normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation.  
The company's accounting policies are described in the Notes to 
Consolidated Financial Statements in the company's 1995 Annual Report.  
The results of operations for the quarter ended March 30, 1996 are not 
necessarily indicative of the results of the entire fiscal year.
