# Persona

The PERSONA is the base module of the [BASICare Modular Expansion System](http://localhost/product/basicare-modular-expansion-system/), interfacing to other modules. It buffers all the signals from the expansion port via a ribbon cable. It connects to other modules via a 64-way Organic Bus, configured to fit into the ZX81/TS1000 memory map.

[Gladstone Electronics](http://localhost/company/gladstone-electronics/) planned to introduce a PERSONA module for the TS 2068.
