This is an unexpected quick clip for #MARCHintosh2025. I was working to build my PowerBook BlueSCSI v1.1 but ended up destroying it. Supposedly low heat solder from AliExpress was the culprit, as it turned out to require much higher heat which my 450 degree celcius soldering iron could not provide. High heat and too much time destroyed the Blue Pill Arduino board. I was able to rescue the interface board so back to the drawing board as I've ordered another Blue Pill for under $2 from AliExpress.
