Ben,

You will need to alter Rainbow IDE with some kind of raw file editor. The 
program hard codes not only -flop0 but also messgui.exe. If you alter the 
program with an editor from -flop0 to -flop1, then disks will get mounted.

MESS has not officially released a gui version for some time and in any case, 
the unofficial version is now called messui.exe. I've not been able to get a 
name change from messgui.exe to messui.exe to work by patching Rainbow IDE. So, 
you will need to rename your MESS program. It won't matter whether you are 
starting with mess.exe or messui.exe.
