Brutal Deluxe's MountIt 1.3 is an init which allows you to mount .po, .
2mg and .dsk images in the IIgs finder and treat them just like a real
disk. Not sure about apple's diskcopy format. I have found it extremly
useful. The only problem is the images can't be used with prodos 8. I
also heard of another utility called SwatterDisk but never tried it.
Hope this helps,
