NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION:
- ----------------------

Datronic Equipment Income Fund XVII, L.P., a Delaware Limited
Partnership (the "Partnership"), was formed on May 12, 1988 for 
the purpose of acquiring and leasing both high-and low- technology
equipment.  Reference is made to Notes 4, 6, 7 and 8 to the
Partnership's financial statements included in the 1995 Form  10-K
for a discussion of the alleged diversion of Partnership assets in
1991 and 1992 and the subsequent litigation and settlement, change
in general partner, new classes of limited partners established and
amendments to the Partnership Agreement which occurred.

NOTE 2 - BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS:
- ---------------------------------------

The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the Partnership's financial statements included in the 1995
Form 10-K.  The financial information furnished herein is unaudited
but in the opinion of Management includes all adjustments necessary
(all of which are normal recurring adjustments) for a fair
presentation of financial condition and results of operations. See
Note 3 to the Partnership's financial statements included in the
1995 Form 10-K.

NOTE 3 - LIMITED PARTNERSHIP DISTRIBUTIONS:

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ----------------------------------------------------------

The following discussion and analysis of liquidity and capital
resources covers material changes in the Partnership's financial
condition from December 31, 1995 through June 30, 1996.  The
discussion and analysis of results of operations is for the three
and six month periods ended June 30, 1996 as compared to the
corresponding periods in 1995.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
- ----------------------------------------------------

During the six months ended June 30, 1996, Partnership assets were
converted to cash to pay Partnership operating expenses and the
January 1, 1996 distribution to the Continuing Limited Partners and
to increase cash balances to ensure that sufficient cash will be
available to pursue pending litigation and liquidate the
Partnership in an orderly manner.

Installment contract receivable decreased approximately $52,000
during the six months ended June 30, 1996 primarily due to
scheduled principal collections.

Net investment in direct financing leases decreased approximately
$2,596,000 during the six months ended June 30, 1996 primarily due
to principal collections.

Restricted cash of approximately $34,000 has been included in cash
and cash equivalents due to the removal of claims against such cash
(see Part II, Item 1 - Legal Proceedings).  This cash was repaid to
the Partnership with interest in June 1996.

Accounts payable and accrued expenses decreased approximately
$241,000 during the six months ended June 30, 1996 primarily due to
payment of legal fees and sales and use taxes.

Lessee rental deposits decreased approximately $310,000 during the
six months ended June 30, 1996 primarily resulting from the
application of certain rental deposits to the respective deficient
leases.

In the aggregate, partners' equity decreased approximately $627,000
during the six months ended June 30, 1996 due to distributions to
Continuing Limited Partners of approximately $137,000, and a net
loss of approximately $490,000.

During the six months ended June 30, 1996, the Partnership's
operating activities resulted in an approximate use of $1,041,000
of cash.  This was due principally to decreases in accounts payable
and lessee rental deposits of approximately $551,000 and a net loss
of approximately $490,000.  During the period, cash flows from
investing activities aggregated approximately $2,683,000 relating
to principal collections on leases of approximately $2,596,000,
availability of restricted cash of approximately $34,000, and
collections on an installment contract of approximately $52,000. 
Cash flows used for financing activities consisted of a
distribution to Continuing Limited Partners of approximately
$137,000.

The Partnership's principal sources of liquidity on both a
long-term and short-term basis are receipts from leases and cash on
hand.  Additional sources of liquidity on a long-term basis are
expected to include proceeds from the sale of diverted and other
assets and possibly portions of the Partnership's lease portfolio
which may be sold in bulk.  Management believes that its sources of
liquidity in the short and long-term are sufficient to meet its
operating cash obligations.  Distributions to the Liquidating
Limited Partners were suspended after the April 1, 1995
distribution and distributions to the Continuing Limited Partners
were suspended after the January 1, 1996 distribution. 
Distributions were suspended to ensure that sufficient cash will be
available to pursue recoveries under pending litigation with the
Partnership's former accountants and others and to liquidate the
Partnership in an orderly manner.

The continued operation and eventual liquidation of the Partnership
involves numerous complex issues which have to be resolved.  These
issues relate to the timing and realizability of lease-related
assets, diverted and other assets, Datronic assets, litigation and
the liquidation of the other Datronic Partnerships (see Note 4, 6
and 9 to the financial statements included in the 1995 Form 10-K). 
These issues make it difficult to predict the time and costs
necessary to operate and liquidate the Partnership in an orderly
manner.  As a result of these uncertainties, it is not possible to
predict the timing and availability of cash for future
distributions to Limited Partners.  However, it is likely that the
amount of future distributions, if any, to the Limited Partners
will ultimately be significantly less than the amount of Partner's
Equity reflected in the June 30, 1996 Balance Sheets (see financial
statements included in Item 1).

Results of Operations
- ---------------------

Lease income decreased approximately $155,000 and $362,000 for the
three month and six month periods ended June 30, 1996 as compared
to the corresponding periods in 1995 primarily due to declining
lease portfolios. 

Management fees-New Era represent amounts paid New Era for managing
the Partnership on a day-to-day basis.  These fees amounted to
approximately $262,000 and $539,000 for the three and six months
ended June 30, 1996 as compared to $269,000 and $630,000 for the
same periods in 1995.  See Note 8 to the Partnership's financial
statements included in the 1995 Form 10-K.  

The General Partner's expense reimbursement represents the amount
paid to LRC in excess of LRC's 1% share of cash flow available for
distribution.  Total amounts paid to LRC are primarily a function
of the amount of time LRC spends on the activities of the
Partnership and the timing of certain LRC expenses.  Total amounts
paid to LRC for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1996
were approximately $50,000 and $179,000 (all of which represents
the General  Partner's expense reimbursement) as compared to
$156,000 and $193,000 ($134,000 and $143,000, respectively,
representing the General Partner's expense reimbursement and
$21,000 and $50,000, respectively, representing LRC's 1% cash
available for distribution) for the corresponding periods ended
June 30, 1995.  See Note 7 to the Partnership's financial
statements included in the 1995 Form 10-K.

Professional fees decreased approximately $124,000 and $129,000 for
the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1996 as compared to
the corresponding periods in 1995 due to decreases in audit fees,
consulting fees and legal fees for collections and Partnership
claims against former accountants and others.

The 1995 credit for lease losses reflects Management's ongoing
assessment of potential losses inherent in the lease portfolio and
actual collections for certain leases in excess of those
anticipated in prior years.
