--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                                                                   EXHIBIT 10.32

REDACTED

AMENDMENT ONE TO THE SUPPORT SERVICES AGREEMENT

Epson America, Inc. (Epson,) and Microdyne Corporation (Microdyne) amend the
Support Services Agreement (the "Agreement") which commenced effective April 1,
1996.

                                    RECITALS

Whereas, Epson has established a telephone support center in Torrance,
California (commonly referred to as the "Epson Connection") and Epson
anticipates a level of calls that will exceed the Epson Connection's current
capacity,

Whereas, Microdyne has offered Epson an interim solution to the excessive call
load through a telephone support facility that Microdyne will set up in the
general vicinity of Torrance, California, and,

Whereas, Epson wants to accept Microdyne's offer of services and assist
Microdyne in operating the telephone service center,

Now, therefore, the parties agree as follows:

     1.   Term- This Amendment will remain in effect for a six (6) month period
          beginning March 1, 1997 when Microdyne will commence responding to
          customer calls. After the expiration of six months, this Amendment
          will continue in effect on a month by month basis unless either party
          provides the other with thirty (30) days prior written notice of its
          intent to terminate the Amendment. Prior to the expiration of the six
          (6) month period described above, this Amendment can only be
          terminated for cause, as defined in Provision 11.2 of the Agreement.

     2.   Microdyne's Telephone Support Center: Microdyne will open a telephone
          support center in the general vicinity of Epson's headquarters in
          Torrance, California and provide qualified personnel to respond to
          customer calls, primarily regarding ink jet printers, The parties
          anticipate a ramp-up period with increasing support capabilities over
          the first two (2) months of this Amendment. Microdyne will provide
          computer equipment and lease NEC telephone equipment sufficient to
          interface with the Epson Connection and provide high quality support
          to customers. Microdyne will also provide the T I telephone and data
          link to connect its facility to the Epson Connection at Epson's
          Madrona facility.

     3.   Minimum Call Level Commitment: Epson will refer a minimum number of
          (confidentiality requested) calls per month to Microdyne. This
          (confidentiality requested) minimum call level is intended to provide
          Microdyne with a sufficient volume of calls to establish and staff the
          telephone service center. The parties anticipate, however, that
          Microdyne will not be able to handle the entire minimum volume of
          calls during the first two (2) months of operation.

     4.   Epson's Costs: Epson will compensate Microdyne for providing telephone
          support service (confidentiality requested). (As referred to herein,
          talk minutes refer to on-line time actually expended by Microdyne
          employees in Talk Mode pursuant to the ACD records for such calls and
          NEC Navigator activity reports.) Epson will pay the telephone
          communication costs for 800 number calls by customers. Epson shall
          also provide product training and telephone support training for
          Microdyne personnel in the same manner that training is currently
          provided to Microdyne employees assigned to work directly within the
          Epson Connection. Upon termination of the Amendment, Epson may, if
          mutually agreeable to the parties, take over the NEC equipment lease
          entered by Microdyne for telephone equipment. If Microdyne chooses to
          purchase NEC equipment, instead of leasing, Epson may purchase
          equipment if a mutually agreeable price can be negotiated.

     5    Microdyne's Costs: Microdyne will provide the facilities, equipment
          and staff sufficient to provide high quality technical support to
          customers. Microdyne will be solely responsible

          records regarding customer calls as may reasonably be requested by
          Epson.

          parties regarding the telephone support service to be provided by
          Microdyne. Except as explicitly set forth in this Amendment, all of
