                 This Amendment No. 6 to Schedule 13D relates to the shares of
Common Stock, $.01 par value (the "Shares"), of Phoenix Information Systems
Corp. (the "Issuer") and amends the initial statement on Schedule 13D dated
December 16, 1994 and all prior amendments thereto (collectively, the "Initial
Statement").  This Amendment No. 6 is being filed to report the expiration of
the Four Dollar Warrants (as previously defined in Amendment No. 5) without
exercise thereof or consideration therefor.  Capitalized terms used herein but
not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Initial
Statement.  The information set forth in the Initial Statement is amended as
set forth herein.

ITEM 2.  IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.

                 Updated information concerning the identity of the Managing
Directors of SFM is set forth in Annex A hereto, which is incorporated by
reference in response to this Item 2.

ITEM 5.  INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

                 (a)      The aggregate number of Shares of which each of the
Reporting Persons may be deemed a beneficial owner is 19,909,999 (approximately
40.27% of the total number of Shares which would be outstanding assuming the
exercise or conversion by Phoenix Partners of all of the convertible securities
that it currently holds).  This number consists of (i) 12,809,999 Shares held
by Phoenix Partners, (ii) 4,000,000 Shares issuable to Phoenix Partners upon
exercise of the 4,000,000 warrants presently exercisable by Phoenix Partners
pursuant to the terms of the Warrant Agreement, (iii) the 2,500,000 Shares
issuable to Phoenix Partners pursuant to the terms of the Second Warrant
Agreement, and (iv) 600,000 Shares issuable upon exercise of the 600,000
warrants issued to Phoenix Partners pursuant to the Second Conversion Warrants.

                 (c)      Pursuant to the Four Dollar Warrant Agreement (as
previously reported in Amendment No. 5), the Four Dollar Warrants could be
exercised at $4.00 per Share for the period beginning on December 18, 1995 and
ending on the earlier of (i) 120 days after December 18, 1995 and (ii) 25
business days subsequent to the Acquisition Date.  The Acquisition Date
occurred on December 22, 1995.  As such, Phoenix Holdings and Quantum
Industrial had until 25 business days subsequent to December 22, 1995 to
exercise the Four Dollar Warrants.  The Four Dollar Warrants were not
exercised; therefore, on January 31, 1996, the Four Dollar Warrants expired.
Consequently, Phoenix Holdings, Quantum Industrial, and any Reporting Person
who may be deemed the beneficial owner of all the securities held by either
Phoenix Holdings or Quantum Industrial, are no longer deemed the beneficial
owners of the Four Dollar Warrants as previously reported in Amendment 5.

                          The August Letter Agreement provided that if the
System has not been installed in China in connection with an airline of
comparable size to Hainan Airlines and/or the System is not operational within
90 days of August 3, 1995, the Issuer would issue to Phoenix Partners the
140,000 Additional Warrants.  In consideration of the issuance of the Second
Conversion Warrants, Phoenix Partners agreed that the Additional Warrants would
be issued only on the condition that the System has not been installed in China
in connection with an airline of comparable size to Hainan Airlines and/or the
System is not operational on or before January 15, 1996.  Discussions between 
the Issuer and Phoenix Partners are currently underway to determine whether 
this condition has been met in full.  Thus the 140,000 Additional Warrants have
not yet been received and the Shares into which the Additional Warrants would 
be convertible are not reported herein.

                          Pursuant to the September Letter Agreement, Phoenix
Partners purchased a Tranche D Note in the principal amount of $1,200,000 and
converted such Tranche D Note into 1,200,000 Shares at a conversion price of
$1.00 per Share.  However, if the Issuer were to fail to meet certain
operational targets by January 15, 1996, the conversion price would be adjusted
so that the conversion will be deemed to have occurred at a lower price, with
an absolute minimum conversion price of $0.60 per Share.  Upon any deemed
change in the conversion price in the Tranche D Note purchased and converted on
September 15, 1995, the Issuer will issue to Phoenix Partners certificates
representing such additional Shares. Discussions between the Issuer and Phoenix
Partners are currently underway to determine whether the operational targets
have been met in full. Thus there has been no adjustment in the conversion
price and the Shares which would be received as a result of any decrease in
conversion price are not reported herein.  

                          Except for the expiration of the Four Dollar Warrants
described above in response to this Item 5(c) (and pending resolution of the
matters referenced in the previous two paragraphs), there have been no 
transactions in the Shares effected since December 12, 1995 (the most recent 
filing on Schedule 13D).
