## No Power
Most computers should provide SCSI termination power through the SCSI cable, which is enough to power the BluePill(Mac Plus is a known exception unless you do a mod, Mac IIsi also does not provide term power), but it’s entirely possible a computer doesn’t for whatever reason. Unplug the BlueSCSI from the computer’s SCSI Connection and try to power it either through the MicroUSB port on the BluePill, or 5v through the Berg connector. If it lights up at all, it’s possible you computer doesn’t provide the correct SCSI termination power. If that’s the case, you can get a cheap Molex to Floppy(Berg) power connector and use it that way, or power it through USB

Also ensure that nothing on the BlueSCSI has been shorted out at all. Any time you’re working on it make sure any headers from components aren’t resting on a conductive surface.
