CompuCom Systems, Inc.
10100 North Central Expressway
Dallas, TX 75231

Gentlemen:

     I have acted as counsel to CompuCom Systems, Inc. (the "Company") in
connection with the preparation and filing with the Securities and Exchange
Commission of the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-8 under the
Securities Act of 1933 (the "Registration Statement") relating to 3,000,000
shares of Common Stock of the Company, $.01 par value per share (the "Shares"),
issuable upon the exercise of options granted or to be granted under the
Company's 1993 Stock Option Plan (the "1993 Plan").

     In this connection, I have reviewed the Company's Certificate of
Incorporation, its By-Laws, resolutions of its Board of Directors and
stockholders, and such other documents and corporate records as I have deemed
appropriate in the circumstances. My opinion is limited solely to matters
governed by the laws of the State of Delaware and the Federal laws of the United
States of America.

     Based upon the foregoing and consideration of such questions of law as I
have deemed relevant, I am of the opinion that the issuance of Shares by the
Company upon the exercise of stock options properly granted under the 1993 Plan
is duly and validly authorized by the necessary corporate action of the Board of
Directors and stockholders of the Company, and such Shares will, upon exercise
of such options and payment therefor in accordance with the terms of the 1993
Plan, and upon execution of stock certificates to be issued therefor by a duly
authorized officer of Chemical Mellon Shareholder Services, as transfer agent,
be legally issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

     I consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement. This does not constitute a consent under Section 7 of the Securities
