   A .PO file is an uncompressed disk image where the data is stored a   
   sequential ProDOS blocks (ie. block 0, block 1, all the way to block 279   
   for a standard 5.25" floppy).  There are programs like DiskMaker that   
   can write that data back to a floppy disk and I believe there is even a   
   IIgs program that can let you use that file like a RAM disk (I think the   
   program is called MountIt but it has been a very long time since I've   
   needed to do such a thing).   
      
   I have a CFFA3000 in my IIgs so I just use it to mount disk images as   
   drives and copy things off them if I want.
