At first I agreed that MO is a good idea, but it doesn't clear up the entire issue. What if you have a floppy and its disk sleeve? What if you have a floppy and manual only (but not the map). These would still be vaild uses of IM/IM, with a note as to what you have or what is missing.
I still prefer this to MO. I like the first suggestion of allowing IM to be a condition, but this would require an update to MobyScale. IM would be a condition and (MMC) would be a modifier. So examples would be: IM/IM IM/VG (MMC) F/IM But you would never need: IM/IM (MMC) or F/IM (MMC). In other words, (MMC) should never be used in conjunction with an IM used to describe contents.
