KEGS currently enforces the rule that .dsk images MUST be in DOS3.3 sector
order.  In general, emulators cannot determine in all cases the sector
order of an image.  However, other emulators make an effort to guess the
sector order, and so they "work", and KEGS doesn't.

The fix is easy.  Rename SHAPE.MECHANIC1.dsk to SHAPE.MECHANIC1.po (same with
any other image).  Then it should work.  This doesn't exactly match what you
said, but it's likely the root of the problem.
