Does anyone know how many mA an original Snes board takes?

I think that the voltage it requires is 7.2-36V (Doomportables), and according to bioniclebert, it's 2 mA.

This thread mentioned the draw of the mini, so I doubt the original draws more then 100mA more. The SNES (version 1-3) shouldnt need more then 750mA at the most.

Actually, the exact draw of a 1992 model (the old larger style) SNES is about 490 mA- my second Portable SNES uses one and runs for about 5 hours.
If all else fails, take it apart!
