Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:

     We refer to the  registration  by the Company of up to 100,000  shares (the
"Shares")  of Common  Stock (the  "Common  Stock") of Discas,  Inc.,  a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"),  pursuant to the Registration Statement on Form S-8
filed with the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission  on or about April 13, 1998
(the "Registration Statement") as subsequently amended from time to time.

     We have examined  copies of said  Registration  Statement on Form S-8 under
the Securities  Act of 1933, as amended.  We have conferred with officers of the
Company and have examined the originals, or photostatic,  certified or conformed
copies, of such records of the Company, certificates of officers of the Company,
certificates  of public  officials,  and such other  documents as we have deemed
relevant  and  necessary,  as a basis  for the  opinions  set forth  herein.  In
connection  with such  examinations,  we have  assumed the  authenticity  of all
documents submitted to us as originals or duplicate originals, the conformity to
original  documents of all document  copies,  the authenticity of the respective
originals of such latter documents, and the correctness and completeness of such
certificates.  Finally,  we have  obtained  from  officers of the  Company  such
assurances as we have considered necessary for the purposes of this opinion.

     On the basis of the foregoing, and such other matters of fact and questions
of law as we have deemed relevant in the circumstances, and in reliance thereon,
it is our  opinion  that the  Shares  issuable  upon  the  exercise  of  options
authorized under the Company's  Mission Bay Consulting,  Inc. Stock Option Plan,
have been duly reserved for issuance,  and upon exercise in accordance  with the
terms of the Mission Bay Consulting,  Inc. option grant,  the Shares issued will
be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

     The undersigned hereby consent to the use of their name in the Registration
Statement and in the Prospectus  forming a part of the  Registration  Statement,
and to  references  to this  opinion  contained  herein under the caption of the
Prospectus entitled "Legal Matters".

     This opinion is limited to the matters  herein,  and may not be relied upon
by any other person or for any other purpose  other than in connection  with the
corporate authority for and the validity of the issuance of the Shares.

                                                   Very truly yours,

                                                   EPSTEIN BECKER & GREEN, P.C.
