ID Mac Plus 030 upgrade card

I have what I think is a very early Novy accelerator, but it houses a 20Mhz '020 and might be missing a GAL or two.  I've never tried it, but must post up pics of it soon.

So I picked up 2 mac plus systems of Kijjji here in Canada, both of them were upgraded with the Novy card both with 25Mhz '030 processors.   Has anyone had any luck tracking down a manual?

Not to my knowledge, but I don't know everything.  ;)

Post some photos when you get them open!

Enjoy those systems, they are terrific.

I have only ever seen a manual for the Novy accelerator for the Classic.  I have searched around but never seen a manual for the Quick30.

I did find the manual for the Quick30Classic posted on another thread:

But I think I have the novy Quick30Plus... https://archive.org/details/mac_The_Macintosh_Do-It-Yourself_Upgrade_Book_1992/page/n151/mode/2up

Hopefully the manual will be found some day... Unfortunately no external hard drive, but I did see the other threads with the required drivers.

Will post a "how to set up" once I get a chance to play and get them working... April perhaps.

Yes, sorry, I meant no trace of the manuals for the Quick30 Plus. I got one of these working in a Plus, booting from SCSI2SD with all the drivers set up correctly in 2018 (recently sold that machine though) so may be able to help with questions if you want.

Thanks, will take you up on that, studying for some work related exams at the moment, so will hopefully have time to play with these in April.
