EXHIBIT 5.1
OPINION OF PEABODY & ARNOLD LLP
June 1, 2000
Storage Computer Corporation
11 Riverside Street
Nashua, New Hampshire 03062
Re: Registration Statement on Form S-3
Ladies and Gentlemen:
In connection with the registration of 3,320,000 shares of Common
Stock, par value $.001 per share (the "Common Shares") of Storage Computer
Corporation (the "Company") with the Securities and Exchange Commission on a
Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the "Registration Statement"), relating to
the sales, if any, of the Common Shares by the selling stockholder, we have
examined such documents, records and matters of law as we have considered
relevant. Based upon such examination and upon our familiarity as counsel for
the Company with its general affairs, it is our opinion that the Common Shares
being registered, when issued and paid for, will be legally issued, fully paid,
and non-assessable.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement and to the use of our name in the Registration Statement
and the prospectus forming a part of the Registration Statement.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Peabody & Arnold LLP
PEABODY & ARNOLD LLP
