Besides having Bill send you the disks, the process goes like this:

Get or borrow a '90's Mac with a Superdrive 1.44 floppy- Compact Macs
such as the Classic, Classic II, SE/30, or Color Classic are nice Apple
II accessories that don't take up much space. The Color Classic can
even take the IIe Card, making it both a Mac AND an Apple IIe with hard
disk and 3.5" drive!

Older Macs such as the early SE, Plus, etc don't have SuperDrives, so
they can't read PC 1.44 disks. Later Macs- most Power Macs and later-
have trouble writing 800K disks.

Mac OS 7.5 can read PC disks, so you can transfer those files from your
PC to the Mac via floppy.

Format 800K floppies as ProDos on the Mac. It's an option when
formatting.

Double click those .SDK's and the Mac will copy the disk images to
those 800K floppies.
