Hallo!

8.1 installer is in fact a 8.0 install with 8.1 update installed right after and updated utility disks for HFS+ support.

You will find everything you need to properly upgrade to 8.1:

Is this an actual Apple site? I had to find my Mac_OS_8.1 from Archive. @franklyn : This link tells you where I found it. In my case, it was for my PowerBook 1400.

Yes they are as they are subdomains from apple.com

I posted a list of potentially still working urls here: https://68kmla.org/bb/index.php?threads/download-info-curated-link-list.48044/

Oh right. So, I think I tried to use the Apple site at the time, but it didn't seem to work. I think I used the LowEndMac links. Perhaps that's what the problem was.

You can’t browse the site you must have direct links to the files and some parts have been removed a while ago.

There is a lot of localized software still available, german having a fair amount of files.
