Item 5.  Other Events.

     (a)  Completion of a Private Placement.

     On June 25, 1999, Data Race, Inc. (the "Company") completed a private
placement of 2,132,955 shares of its common stock (the "Common Shares") and
warrants to purchase 639,888 shares of common stock (the "Warrants") to
Cranshire Capital, L.P., Keyway Investments Ltd., and Lionhart Investments Ltd.
(the "Investors"), for an aggregate price of $6,000,000.  Each Investor
purchased one-third of the securities issued in the private placement.  The
Warrants are exercisable at a price of $4.02 per share through June 25, 2001.
The Company intends to use the proceeds from the private placement primarily for
general corporate purposes.

     The Company has agreed to file a registration statement under the
Securities Act of 1933, covering the resale of the Common Shares and the shares
of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants.  The Company will incur
certain penalties if the registration statement is not filed by July 23, 1999,
or declared effective by October 23, 1999. These penalties may be paid in cash
or, at the Investors' option, in common stock. In addition, if the Company
issues additional shares of common stock prior to the effective date of the
registration statement, then antidilution provisions contained in the securities
purchase agreement may require the Company to issue additional shares of common
stock to the Investors so as to prevent dilution of the Investors' investment in
the Company.

     In connection with the private placement, the Company granted to the
Investors a right of first refusal to purchase additional securities issued by
the Company (subject to certain exceptions) prior to December 25, 1999.

     As compensation for the investment by the Investors, the Company paid to a
placement agent a cash fee equal to 6% of the gross proceeds received by the
Company from the Investors.

     THE SUMMARY OF THE PRIVATE PLACEMENT SET FORTH ABOVE IS QUALIFIED IN ITS
ENTIRETY BY REFERENCE TO THE SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT, THE WARRANT
AGREEMENTS, AND THE REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT EXECUTED BY THE COMPANY IN
CONNECTION WITH THE PRIVATE PLACEMENT.  SUCH DOCUMENTS ARE FILED AS EXHIBITS TO
THIS FORM 8-K.

     (b)  Approval of a Stock Plan and Bonus Plan.

     In April of 1999, the board of directors of the Company approved a
consultant and advisor stock plan, a copy of which is attached as an exhibit to
this Form 8-K. In addition, in February of 1999, the board of directors of the
Company approved a transaction bonus plan for the benefit of designated members
of senior management, a summary description of which is attached as an exhibit
to this Form 8-K.
