Was reading in an old issue of Nintendo Power that there was a keyboard attatchment for the original Gameboy called "Workboy" It basically acted like a pda. Was this ever released? and if so does anyone own one?

Was never released. Would have been very cool if it was though.

There have been threads about this before. (Search for "Workboy".)
There was a scan of a very informative article somewhere, but I forget where. It was put together by an independent group in the UK, as I recall.
In related business, I also read once about a possible modification for a Macintosh keyboard to allow it to be used via the Game Boy link port, principally for use with the homebrew Infocom interpreter (Zork, etc) ported to the GB.
Yes, I got that from a UK magazine Game Zone. A friend of mine can swear he's seen the Workboy for sale at the local market (at the time). Week later I went and searched, but I never found it, so who knows.

I see if I can dig out the magazine and scan it.
