I installed 8.5 over apple talk to a power book 2300c, and it works fine, well its very very slow, but it works fine, but you should boot from a 3 1/2 disk and wipe the drive one the system as there is alot of stuff the the old owner I think, and yes the 8.1 boot floppy will have apple talk and all of that stuff, but it takes a long long time to install, so having sothing to do while it installs and if you want to install stuff that comes on the installer you should keep an eye on the laptop
