Commission   for   Form  10-Q  and   reflect   all
adjustments   which  are,  in   the   opinion   of
management,  necessary for a fair presentation  of
the  results  for  the interim periods  presented.
Pursuant  to  such rules and regulations,  certain
note disclosures which are normally required under
generally accepted accounting principles have been
omitted.   It is recommended that these  financial
statements  be  read  in  conjunction   with   the
Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-K  for  the
year ended December 31, 1994.

(2)  Significant Accounting Policies

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The  financial  statements include allowances  for
estimated  losses  on  receivable  balances.   The
allowances for doubtful accounts are based on past
write   off   experience  and  an  evaluation   of
potential   uncollectible  accounts   within   the
current  receivable balances.  Receivable balances
which  are  determined  to  be  uncollectible  are
charged   against  the  allowance  and  subsequent
recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.
At  June  30,  1995  and December  31,  1994,  the
allowance for doubtful accounts included in  rents
receivable  was  $2,426 and $1,397,  respectively,
and  $220,000  included in accounts  receivable  -
affiliates, respectively.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year financial statement items  have
been  reclassified  to conform  with  the  current
year's financial statement presentation.

(3) Investment Property

At  June  30, 1995, the Partnership owned computer
equipment with a cost basis of $1,657,698  subject
to existing leases and equipment with a cost basis
of  $837,150  in  inventory awaiting  re-lease  or
sale.   All  purchases of computer  equipment  are
subject  to  a 2.5% acquisition fee  paid  to  the
General Partner.

                  Management's Discussion and Analysis of

                                (Unaudited)

Results of Operations.

The  following discussion relates to Partnership's
operations  for the quarter and six month  periods
ended  June 30, 1995, compared to the same  period
in 1994.

The Partnership realized net income of $66,824 and
$63,705 for the three month periods ended June 30,
1995,  and  1994, respectively.  Rental income  on
operating leases decreased $38,830 or 20%  between
the   three   month  periods.   The  decrease   is
primarily  due to lower rental rates  obtained  on
equipment lease extensions and remarketings  after
the  initial lease term has expired and due  to  a
net  decrease in the overall size of the equipment
portfolio.   Earned  income  on  direct  financing
leases  has increased due to the early termination
of  the  final direct financing lease whereby  the
lessee  paid  the few remaining rent  payments  in
advance.   Interest income decreased as result  of
lower average short-term investment balances.  The
net  gain  on sale of equipment decreased  between
the three month periods primarily due to sales  of
equipment carrying higher net book values.

Total costs and expenses decreased $56,110 or  35%
between the three month periods.  The decrease  in
costs   and  expenses  is  the  result  of   lower
depreciation expense combined with the reversal of
provision for doubtful accounts.  The decrease  in
depreciation expense is due to a large portion  of
the equipment portfolio becoming fully depreciated
and  a  net  reduction  in the  overall  equipment
portfolio.   Management  fees  have  decreased  in
relation to the decline in rental income.  General
and administrative expenses were lower in 1994 due
to  an  overaccrual  in prior  periods  which  was
reversed in the period ending June 30, 1994.   The
reversal  of  the provision for doubtful  accounts
was generated due to successful collection efforts
on delinquent accounts.

The Partnership realized net income of $93,583 and
$122,066 for the six month periods ended June  30,
1995  and  1994, respectively.  Rental  income  on
operating  leases decreased $50,360  or  14%.   As
discussed  in  the  quarter  analysis  above,  the
decrease  in  rental income is  primarily  due  to
lower  rental  rates obtained on  equipment  lease
extensions  and  remarketings  after  the  initial
lease  term has expired and due to a net  decrease
in  the  overall size of the equipment  portfolio.
Earned  income  on  direct  financing  leases  has
increased  due  to  the early termination  of  the
final  direct  financing lease.   Interest  income
decrease  due  to the Partnership carrying   lower
average   short-term  investment   balances.    As
mentioned  above,  net gain on sale  of  equipment
decreased  from 1994 to 1995 due to  the  sale  of
equipment carrying higher net book values.

Total costs and expenses decreased $44,530 or  16%
between  the  six month periods.  The decrease  in
costs  and  expenses is primarily  the  result  of
lower  depreciation expense.  As discussed  above,
the  decrease in depreciation is due  to  a  large
portion of the equipment portfolio becoming  fully
depreciated   and  a  reduction  in  the   overall
equipment   portfolio.    Management   fees   have
decreased  due  to the decline in  rental  income.
General and administrative expenses were lower  in
1994  due to an overaccrual in prior periods which
was  reversed in the period ending June 30,  1994,
as  stated  above.   For the  year  to  date,  the
Partnership  had a net increase in  its  provision
for  doubtful accounts for $1,029 to  reserve  for
uncollectible accounts.

Liquidity and Capital Resources.

For  the  six  months ended June 30, 1995,  rental
revenue  generated from operating leases  was  the
primary  source of funds for the Partnership.   As
equipment  leases terminate, the  General  Partner
determines  if the equipment will be  extended  to
the same lessee, remarketed to another lessee,  or
if  it is less marketable, sold.  This decision is
made  upon  analyzing which option would  generate
the most favorable results.

Rental income on operating leases will continue to
decrease due to two factors.  The first factor  is
the  rate obtained when the original leases expire
and  are  remarketed at a lower rate.   Typically,
the remarketed rates are lower due to the decrease
in  useful  life of the equipment.  Secondly,  the
increasing  change of technology in  the  computer
industry  usually decreases the demand  for  older
equipment,  thus  increasing  the  possibility  of
obsolescence.  Both of these factors together will
cause  remarketed rates to be lower than  original
rates.   This decrease however, should not  affect
the  Partnership's ability to meet its future cash
requirements,   including   its   long-term   debt
obligations.  To the extent that future cash flows
should  be  insufficient to meet the Partnership's
operating  expenses  and  liabilities,  additional
funds  could  be  obtained  through  the  sale  of
equipment,  or  a reduction in the  rate  of  cash
distributions.    Future  rental   revenues   from
operating leases amount to $351,734 and are to  be
received over the next three years.

For  the  six  months  ended June  30,  1995,  the
Partnership's  investing  activities  resulted  in
equipment sales with an depreciated cost basis  of
$6,743,  generating  $12,890  in  proceeds.    The
Partnership  has  no material capital  expenditure
commitments and will not purchase equipment in the
future  as the Partnership has reached the end  of
its reinvestment period.

The Partnership's financing activities resulted in
the  paydown on long-term debt of $28,150 for  the
six  months  ended June 30, 1995.  The Partnership
will payoff its remaining long-term debt of $9,651
in 1995.

Cash  distributions  are currently  at  an  annual
level of 5% per Limited Partnership Unit, or $6.25
per Limited Partnership Unit on a quarterly basis.
For   the   quarter  ended  June  30,  1995,   the
Partnership   declared  a  cash  distribution   of
$160,415,  of  which $8,021 was allocated  to  the
General Partner and $152,394 was allocated to  the
Limited Partners.  The distribution is payable  on
August  15,  1995.   The  Partnership  expects  to
continue paying at or near this level.

The effects of inflation have not been significant
to the Partnership and are not expected to have  a
material impact in the future periods.
