         Re:  Registration Statement on Form S-3 of Procom Technology, Inc.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

         Reference is hereby made to the Registration Statement on Form S-3 to
be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by Procom Technology, Inc.,
a California corporation (the "Company"). The Registration Statement relates to
the resale by certain selling shareholders of up to 480,000 shares (the
"Shares") of the Company's common stock, $.01 par value per share, issued by the
Company in connection with that certain Stock Purchase Agreement dated December
28, 2000, among the Company, Angelo Finotti, Riccardo Finotti, and Massimiliano
Finotti.

         I advise you that I have examined originals or copies of those
corporate and other records and documents I considered appropriate. In making
such examination, I have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the
authenticity of all documents submitted as originals and the conformity with
originals of all documents submitted as copies.

         On the basis of such examination, my reliance upon the assumptions in
this opinion and my considerations of those questions of law I considered, and
subject to the limitations and qualifications in this opinion, I am of the
opinion that the Shares have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate
action on the part of the Company and are validly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable.

         The law covered by this opinion is limited to the present federal law
of the United States and the present law of the State of California. I express
no opinion as to the laws of any other jurisdiction and no opinion regarding the
statutes, administrative decisions, rules, regulations or requirements of any
county, municipality, subdivision or local authority of any jurisdictions.

         I hereby consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement and I further consent to the reference to my name under
the caption "Legal Matters" in the Registration Statement.


                                          Respectfully submitted,

                                          /s/ FREDERICK L. JUDD
                                          --------------------------------------
