     This Amendment No. 1 amends and supplements the Statement on Schedule 
13D, dated August 13, 1997, filed by Paul S. Rosenblum, relating to the shares 
of Common Stock, $.01 par value (the "Shares"), of Encore Computer 
Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Issuer").


ITEM 4.  PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

     On or about November 12, 1997, Mr. Rosenblum may be deemed to have 
become a member of a group within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) formed 
for the purposes of opposing the Issuer's proposed sale of the assets of its 
storage products division to Sun Microsystems, Inc. and/or Sun Microsystems 
International, B.V. for $185 million, and the Issuer's proposed agreement 
with Gould Electronics Inc., pursuant to which Gould's preferred shares in 
the Company will be redeemed at a cost of $60 million to the Issuer. The 
group intends to vigorously oppose the two transactions, and intends to vote 
all of its Shares against the transactions, and to persuade other 
shareholders to vote against the transactions. The group may also take legal 
action to enjoin the transactions, and/or to recover damages, or to enable 
the Issuer to recover damages, from those persons responsible for the 
transactions. Reference is made to Item 4 of the Statement on Schedule 13D 
(the "Group Schedule 13D"), dated November 14, 1997, filed by Messrs. Robert 
E. Collins, Martin Helfgott, Hugh J. Kiley, Jr., Paul S. Rosenblum, Ronald M. 
Stewart, M.D. and Louis J. Williams, which is incorporated herein and made a 
part hereof.


ITEM 5.  INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

     (a)  As of October 31, 1997, the Issuer had 67,346,291 Shares 
outstanding, of which the 2,729,900 Shares beneficially owned by Mr. 
Rosenblum constituted approximately 4.05 percent of such outstanding shares. 
In the aggregate, the members of the group described in Item 4 benenficially 
owned, as of October 31, 1997, a total of 4,301,631 Shares, constituting a 
total of 6.4 percent of the outstanding Shares. Reference is made to Item 5 
of the Group Schedule 13D, which is incorporated herein and made a part 
hereof.

     (b)-(d)    ***

     (e)  Mr. Rosenblum ceasesd to be the beneficial owner (other than in his 
capacity as a member of the group described in Item 4) of more than five 
percent of the Shares on or about October 30, 1997, when Gould Electronics, 
Inc. converted its Class A and Class B preferred stock into Shares, 
increasing the Issuer's Shares outstanding to 67,346,291.


ITEM 6.  CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT
  TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

     Other than the plans or proposals described in Item 4 hereof, there are 
no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or 
otherwise) between the person named in Item 2 hereof and any other person 
with respect to any securities of the Company including but not limited to 
transfer or voting of any other securities, finder's fees, joint ventures, 
loan or

option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, divisions of 
profits or losses, or the giving or withholding of proxies.

certify that the information set forth in this statement is true,  complete and
