It's sold by Elenco (http://www.elenco.com/), and
you can downlaod the
manual from their web site. From what I remember, it's an 8085 CPU +
8155 RAM/IO and 2816 E2PROM. Yes, you have to solder it together. You
get to toggle the monitor program into the E2PROM from the switches,
at which point you can use the hex keypad and display linked up to the
8155.
There are also Z80 trainers with the keypad and display and
reasonable external interfaces. One in particular, comes in a nice
wood case. I suspect it's probably made in the Far East, but a
couple of vendors in the US sell it, Global Specialites and
Unisource:

About USD$500 with software.
ETT Thailand offers not only Z80 boards, but Z180 ones.
And there's always Rabbit, but I like my Z80s with complete
instruction sets.
