/1/  The Issuer was acquired on August 28, 1997 by Micron Electronics, Inc.
     ("Micron Electronics") pursuant to a merger of Payette Acquisition
     Corporation ("Payette"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Micron Electronics,
     with and into the Issuer with the Issuer being the surviving corporation
     upon the merger and thereby becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Micron
     Electronics. Upon the merger of Payette and the Issuer, the separate
     corporate existence of Payette ceased. Prior to the merger, Payette held
     approximately 62.8% of the Issuer's Common Stock acquired pursuant to a
     tender offer commenced by Payette which was consummated on July 18, 1997.
     Micron Electronics is a majority-owned subsidiary of Micron Technology,
     Inc.

  Neither the filing of this Amendment No. 2 to the Schedule 13D and amendments
thereto, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 20, 1997 and
July 29, 1997 (as amended, this "STATEMENT") nor any of its contents shall be
deemed to constitute an admission by Micron Technology, Inc., a Delaware
corporation, that it is the beneficial owner of any of the Common Stock referred
to herein, for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended, or for any other purpose, and such beneficial ownership is expressly
disclaimed.

  This Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D constitutes a statement relating to
the acquisition on August 28, 1997 by Micron Electronics, Inc., a Minnesota
corporation ("Micron Electronics"), of all outstanding shares of Common Stock,
$0.001 par value per share, together with all associated rights (the "Shares")
of NetFRAME Systems Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (the "Issuer"), which
were not previously owned by Micron Electronics or any of its direct or indirect
subsidiaries. The acquisition was effected pursuant to a merger of Micron
Electronics' wholly-owned subsidiary, Payette Acquisition Corporation
("Payette") with and into the Issuer (the "Merger"). Because Micron is a
majority-owned subsidiary of Micron Technology, Inc., Micron Technology, Inc.
may be deemed to beneficially own the shares acquired pursuant to the Merger and
the Offer (as defined below).

  The Merger constitutes the second and final step of the acquisition of the
Issuer by Micron. Pursuant to a tender offer (the "Offer") consummated on July
18, 1997, Payette acquired 8,775,554 Shares representing approximately 62.8%
of the Issuer's Common Stock on such date. 

Item 5.   Interest in Securities of the Issuer

    The acquisition of NetFrame was effected on August 28, 1997 pursuant to
    the Merger of Payette with and into the Issuer, with the Issuer being the
    surviving corporation (the "Surviving Corporation") upon the Merger and
    thereby becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Micron Electronics. The
    Merger was consummated following approval by the stockholders of the
    Issuer at a Special Meeting of Stockholders held August 27, 1997.

    Prior to the Merger, Payette held approximately 62.8% of the shares of
    Common Stock of the Issuer acquired by Payette upon consummation of the
    Offer on July 18, 1997. As a result of the Merger, Micron Electronics became
    the beneficial owner of 100% of the Issuer's Common Stock. Pursuant to the
    Merger, each of the outstanding Shares not held by Micron Electronics,
    Payette or any other subsidiary of Micron Electronics (other than those
    shares held by former NetFrame stockholders who have demanded and
    perfected any appraisal rights they may have under Delaware law) was
    converted into the right to receive $1.00, in cash without interest.
    Following the effective time of the Merger on August 28, 1997, the
    separate corporate existence of Payette ceased and each outstanding share
    of capital stock of Payette was converted into one share of Common Stock
    of the Surviving Corporation. Each share of the Issuer's Common Stock
    owned by Micron Electronics, Payette or any other subsidiary of Micron
    Electronics was automatically canceled and retired. The registration of
    the Issuer's Common Stock under Section 12 of the Securities and Exchange
    Act of 1934, as amended, was terminated by the Issuer pursuant to a Form
    15 filed with the Commission on August 29, 1997.

    In connection with Offer and the Merger, Micron Electronics was granted an
    option to purchase Shares representing a 19.9% equity stake in Issuer
    pursuant to a Stock Option Agreement, which agreement terminated upon
    consummation of the Offer.
