Removable hard drive needed

A friend recently asked me questions about IBM PC peripherals. Not being
intimately familiar with the PC, I figured I would toss the question in this
direction and see what comes back. Unfortunately, as the IBM PC is not in my
normal field of interest, I am not a regular reader of this newsgroup;
hence, replies via electronic mail as opposed to posting would be most
appreciated. You can also contact me at the addresses shown in my signature.
You can also contact my friend directly at 818/842-6121 x449. Ask for KMD.

What I am looking for is a removable hard drive, minimum capacity 10 megabytes,
that can interface with either plain or 286 IBM PCs. Furthermore, the
users of these removable drives are not the most sophisticated; they need to
be easily removable and reinsertable (this will need to be done on a daily
basis). I have the feeling that such beasts exist, but I don't know where 
to look for them. Can you help?
