        This Amendment No. 5, the final amendment, amends and supplements the
Rule 13E-3 Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3 (the "Schedule 13E-3") filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 5, 1997 by Fujitsu
Limited, a Japanese corporation (the "Parent"), Fujitsu International, Inc., a
Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Parent (the
"Purchaser"), and Amdahl Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), as
amended. The Schedule 13E-3 relates to the tender offer by the Purchaser to
purchase any and all outstanding shares of common stock, par value $.05 per
share (the "Shares"), of the Company at a price of $12.40 per Share, net to the
seller in cash, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the
Offer to Purchase, dated August 5, 1997, as supplemented by the supplement
thereto, dated August 22, 1997, and in the related Letter of Transmittal.
Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein have the respective
meanings given such terms in the Schedule 13E-3.  


ITEM 10.  INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

        On Friday, September 12, 1997 at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time, the
Offer expired. On Tuesday, September 16, 1997, the Purchaser accepted all
Shares validly tendered. A total of 67,208,526 Shares (or approximately 94% of
the issued and outstanding Shares not already owned by the Parent or the
Purchaser) were purchased pursuant to the Offer. The Purchaser has paid for all
such Shares at the Offer Price of $12.40 per Share, in cash, net to the
tendering stockholder.


ITEM 16.  ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.

        On Thursday, September 18, 1997, the merger of the Purchaser with and
into the Company, pursuant to the short-form merger provisions of the Delaware
General Corporation Law, was completed and the Company thereby became a wholly
owned subsidiary of the Parent. As a result of the merger, the Purchaser ceased
to exist. In the merger, Shares not previously purchased by the Purchaser were
converted into the right to receive $12.40 per Share in cash.

        A copy of the Parent's press releases with respect to the closing of the
tender offer and the consummation of the merger are filed as Exhibits (a)(20) 
and (a)(21) to the Schedule 14D-1 and are incorporated herein by reference.


ITEM 17.  MATERIAL TO BE FILED AS EXHIBITS.

        (d)(20)  Press release, dated September 19, 1997, issued by the Parent
                 (incorporated herein by reference to Exhibit (a)(20) of the 
                 Schedule 14D-1).

        (d)(21)  Press release, dated September 19, 1997, issued by the Parent
                 (incorporated herein by reference to Exhibit (a)(21) of the 
                 Schedule 14D-1).
