Ladies and Gentlemen:

         In connection with the  registration  under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended, of 10,000,000 shares of common stock (the "Common Stock"),  $.10 par
value, of InaCom Corp., a Delaware  corporation (the "Company"),  authorized for
issuance  pursuant to the InaCom 1997 Stock Plan (the "Plan"),  we have examined
such corporate records and other documents, including the registration statement
on Form S-8 to be filed with the Securities and Exchange  Commission relating to
such shares (the  "Registration  Statement"),  and have reviewed such matters of
law as we have deemed necessary for this opinion. Based on such examination,  we
advise you that in our opinion:

         1. The Company is a corporation  duly  organized and existing under the
laws of the State of Delaware.

         2.  Upon the  issuance  of  shares in  accordance  with the  Plan,  all
necessary  corporate  action on the part of the Company  will have been taken to
authorize the issuance of up to an additional  10,000,000 shares of Common Stock
by the Company,  and when issued as contemplated in the  Registration  Statement
and  related  documents,  such  shares  will be legally  issued,  fully paid and
nonassessable.

         We  consent  to  the  filing  of  this  opinion  as an  exhibit  to the
Registration Statement.

                                            Yours very truly,

                                            McGRATH, NORTH, MULLIN & KRATZ, P.C.
