You have run into a chicken and the egg problem.  .sdk is a shrink
archive, which means you need shrink-it to open it.  Try getting a
copy of Shrink II, the Mac version of shrink-it, off someone.  With
this, you can unshrink the file on the Mac and put it on a ProDOS
disk.  The second way is to buy shrink-it on a 3.5" ProDOS disk,
which if I am not mistaken can be found at the listing on the
