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.
