                         Amendment No. 9 to SCHEDULE 13D

         This statement ("Amendment No. 9") 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"), Amendment No. 6 ("Amendment No. 6"), Amendment No. 7
("Amendment No. 7") and Amendment No. 8 ("Amendment No. 8") to the Schedule 13D
filed by Value Partners, Ltd. ("VP"), Ewing & Partners (formerly known as Fisher
Ewing Partners) ("E&P"), 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, July 8, 1997, October 9, 1997 and
February 17, 1998, 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, 6, 7 and 8 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, 6, 7 and 8. Notwithstanding
this Amendment No. 9, the Schedule 13D and Amendment Nos. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7
and 8 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
- ----------------        -----------------------            --------------------
 June 30, 1998                   40,000                         $640,000.00

         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 June 30, 1998 was 1,265,691,
         representing 12.22% of the Issuer's 10,356,100 outstanding shares of
         Common Stock as of June 29, 1998, the date of the filing of the
         Prospectus for the Issuer's Secondary Offering of Common Stock, without
         par value, by the Issuer with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
         The Account directly (and Mr. Ewing indirectly) beneficially owns 2,175
         shares of the Issuer's Common Stock, which represents 0.021% of the
         Issuer's outstanding shares of Common Stock as of June 29, 1998. The
         IRA directly (and Mr. Ewing indirectly) beneficially owns 41,628 shares
         of the Issuer's Common Stock, which represents 0.40% of the Issuer's
         outstanding shares of Common Stock as of June 29, 1998. Except with
         respect to shares owned by the Account or the IRA, none of E&P, EAM or
         Mr. Ewing directly owns any shares of Common Stock. By reason of the
         provisions of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, each of E&P, EAM and
         Mr. Ewing may be deemed to beneficially own the 1,309,494 shares of
         Common Stock owned by VP, the Account and the IRA,

- -----------------------------------          -----------------------------------


         but E&P and EAM disclaim the beneficial ownership of all 1,309,494
         shares, and Mr. Ewing disclaims the beneficial ownership of 1,265,691
         shares, pursuant to Rule 13d-4.

                  As a result of a 3-for-2 Common Stock Split of the shares of
         the Issuer that took effect on or about April 24, 1998, VP received an
         additional 368,564 shares of the Issuer's Common Stock, the Account
         received an additional 725 shares of the Issuer's Common Stock and the
         IRA received an additional 13,876 shares of the Issuer's Common Stock.

                  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,
         E&P, and E&P acts solely through its general partners, EAM and Mr.
         Ewing. Accordingly, each of E&P and Mr. 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. 9, none of VP,
         E&P, EAM or Mr. 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. 9, (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 this Item 6), none of
VP, E&P, EAM or Mr. 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
