Re: Getting SHK and SDK files into Sweet16

[Alex Lee <alelee@mac.com>]

As far as I know the only way you can do this with MacOS X 10.7 is with 
Apple Commander:

Copy the .SHK file to your Mac, then with an existing 32meg ProDOS 
formatted disk image, open that with Apple Commander. You can then 
import the .SHK file from your Mac's file system into the 32meg ProDOS 
formatted disk image (2image, raw, whatever).

You can also use Apple Commander with Snow Leopard and earlier. 
Additionally, pre-Lion you can also use ADFS:

But it’s a little buggy (especially as you use newer versions of OS X.

Essentially these programs are the equivalent to CiderPress on Windows 
(which you could also consider using if you have Bootcamp or 
virtualisation software).
