                         Amendment No. 7 to SCHEDULE 13D

         This statement ("Amendment No. 7") amends the Schedule 13D, Amendment
No. 1 ("Amendment No. 1"), Amendment No. 2 ("Amendment No. 2"), Amendment No. 3
("Amendment No. 3"), Amendment No. 4 ("Amendment No. 4"), Amendment No. 5
("Amendment No. 5"), and Amendment No. 6 ("Amendment No. 6") to the Schedule 13D
filed by Value Partners, Ltd. ("VP"), Fisher Ewing Partners ("FEP"), the Timothy
G. Ewing SARSEP IRA Account (the "Account") and the Timothy G. Ewing IRA Account
(the "IRA") with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 20, 1996,
December 24, 1996, January 10, 1997, April 18, 1997, May 22, 1997, June 5, 1997,
and July 8, 1997 respectively, with respect to the shares of common stock, no
par value per share ("Common Stock"), of Miami Computer Supply Corporation, an
Ohio corporation (the "Issuer"). The Schedule 13D and Amendment Nos. 1, 2, 3, 4,
5, and 6 are collectively referred to herein as the "Schedule 13D" where the
context so permits. All defined terms refer to terms defined herein and in the
Schedule 13D, and Amendments Nos. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. Notwithstanding this
Amendment No. 7, the Schedule 13D and Amendment Nos. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 speak
as of their respective dates. The Schedule 13D is amended only to the extent set
forth below:

         Item 3.  Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

         The following table sets forth the date of purchase, number of shares
of the Issuer's Common Stock purchased and total purchase price of such shares
for the transactions by VP in the Issuer's Common Stock not previously reported
on VP's Schedule 13D. VP's source of funds for such purchases was its working
capital (i.e., its partnership capital account).

Date of Purchase         No. of Shares Purchased       Total Purchase Price

October 1, 1997                   39,000                    $526,500.00


         Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

                  a. The aggregate number of shares of the Issuer's Common Stock
         beneficially owned by VP as of October 1, 1997 was 731,127,
         representing 18.6% of the Issuer's 3,929,109 outstanding shares of
         Common Stock as of August 31, 1997, the date of the share calculation
         performed by the Issuer for purposes of filing a Registration Statement
         on Form S-1 with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September
         24, 1997. The Account directly (and Mr. Ewing indirectly) beneficially
         owns 1,450 shares of the Issuer's Common Stock, which represents 0.04%
         of the Issuer's outstanding shares of Common Stock as of August 31,
         1997. The IRA directly (and Mr. Ewing indirectly) beneficially owns
         27,752 shares of the Issuer's Common Stock, which represents 0.71% of
         the Issuer's outstanding shares of Common Stock as of August 31, 1997.
         Except with respect to shares owned by the Account or the IRA, none of
         FEP or Messrs. Fisher or Ewing directly owns any shares of Common
         Stock. By reason of the provisions of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange
         Act, each of FEP and Messrs. Fisher and Ewing may be deemed to
         beneficially own the 760,329 shares of Common Stock owned by VP, the
         Account and the IRA, but FEP and Mr. Fisher disclaim the beneficial
         ownership of all

         760,329 shares, and Mr. Ewing disclaims the beneficial ownership of
         731,127 shares, pursuant to Rule 13d-4.

                  b. VP has the sole power to vote and the sole power to dispose
         of the shares of Common Stock owned by it through its general partner,
         FEP, and FEP acts solely through its general partners, Messrs. Fisher
         and Ewing. Accordingly, each of FEP and Messrs. Fisher and Ewing may be
         deemed to have sole voting and dispositive power with respect to the
         shares of Issuer's Common Stock owned by VP.

                  Mr. Ewing has the sole power to vote and dispose of the shares
         of Common Stock owned by the Account and the IRA.

                  c. Except as disclosed in this Amendment No. 7, none of VP,
         FEP, Messrs. Fisher or Ewing, the Account or the IRA has effected any
         transaction in the Issuer's Common Stock within the past 60 days.

                  d. No person or entity other than VP has the right to receive,
         or the power to direct the receipt of, dividends from, or the proceeds
         from the sale of, the shares of the Issuer's Common Stock beneficially
         owned by VP.

                  No person or entity other than the Account has the right to
         receive, or the power to direct the receipt of, dividends from, or the
         proceeds from the sale of, the shares of the Issuer's Common Stock
         beneficially owned by the Account.

                  No person or entity other than the IRA has the right to
         receive, or the power to direct the receipt of, dividends from, or the
         proceeds from the sale of, the shares of the Issuer's Common Stock
         beneficially owned by the IRA.

                  e. Not applicable.

         Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with
         Respect to Securities of the Issuer

         As of the date of the execution of this Amendment No. 7, (except for
the separate custodial account agreements for the Account and the IRA by and
between Mr. Ewing and Fiduciary Trust Company, the custodian of such accounts,
which Mr. Ewing does not believe to be applicable under Item 6), none of VP,
FEP, Messrs. Fisher or Ewing, the Account or the IRA is a party to any contract,
arrangement, understanding or relationship among themselves or with any other
person with respect to any securities of the Issuer, including but not limited
to transfer or voting of any of the Common Stock, finder's fees, joint ventures,
loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, division of
profits or loss, the giving or withholding of proxies or pledge or otherwise
subject to a contingency the occurrence of which would give another person
voting or investment power over the Common Stock, other than the agreement among
VP, FEP and Messrs. Fisher and Ewing, the Account and the IRA with respect to
the filing of this Amendment No. 7 and any amendments thereto, which agreement
is attached as Exhibit A hereto.
