Re:  Amdahl Corporation Registration Statement for Offering
     of 592,731 Shares of Common Stock


Gentlemen:

In connection with the registration under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, on a Form S-8 registration statement to
be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
March 25, 1996 (the "Registration Statement"), of 592,731
shares of common stock, par value of $0.05 per share, of
Amdahl Corporation, which are to be offered and sold under
the Amdahl Corporation 1994 Stock Incentive Plan ("1994
Plan"), I advise you that in my opinion when the 592,731
shares of such common stock that are issuable pursuant to a
Stock Issuance Program or issuable upon exercise of options
granted or to be granted under the 1994 Plan have been
issued and sold in accordance with and as described in the
Registration Statement, such shares will be legally issued,
fully paid and nonassessable shares of common stock of
Amdahl Corporation.

I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit
to the Registration Statement.

Very truly yours,



G. Gregory Handschuh
General Counsel and 
VP Legal Affairs
