I think you might try first formatting your IBM disk on the
IBM using the "1" (single-sided) and "8" (8 as opposed to the 
9 by default sectoring) options ... format a:/1/8

Copy the software to the disk and then try running it on the 
Rainbow under MS-DOS.  I've had considerable success doing this
with non-hardware specific software, such as a C compiler and
a well known Pascal compiler.

Good Luck!

PS  Going the other way (Rainbow ==> IBM-PC) does not appear to be
    as easy.
