Likely PSU rating for Novy 020/030 accelerator?

Hi,

I’ve an early Novy 68020 accelerator in a Mac Plus, I’ve had it piggybacked off the Plus motherboard harness +5V and experiencing power issues. The Plus analog board is recapped and with the accelerator running it takes a few power cycles to get it running, voltages are rock solid but I feel running the accelerator is putting it under strain. With the accelerator removed the Plus functions fine.

I think most of these early 020/030 accelerators had a small PSU inside the case; what voltage and amp rating were they? I’m thinking of doing same or running the power brick out the back potentially as a trial.

Thanks
