A load of laptops

 I was in a local electronic surplus store today and bought some old
laptops at what I consider a good price. 2 Grid 1520s, a Grid 1755,
a Commodore C386SX, a DEC PCP11, and an External SCSI HD for $75
 All lacking power supplies tho. I had power packs for the 1520s and
they're both working but one has the same problem that Mike Ford has
with his Grids- password protected. It's now sitting unassembled on my
work table while I search for the battery to see if shorting or removing that
will get rid of the P-W. While I have programs to zap the Award and AMI
BIOS' ,unfortunately this is a Phoenix.
 The Grids all have a socket also for a 16v transformer and it appears to
be the same as the DECs 15v so I am looking for either a Grid or DEC
transformer. The Commodore has an 8pin mini socket for power and a
16v battery.
 In examining the 1755 and DEC closer I see that they are identical except
for color. Who would have made these for Grid and DEC ? Kyocera ?
