I may know a lot about computers, but 8.6 is ancient history, unfortunately. I think some of the stuff could be found at the following addresses:
http://www.eskimo.com/~pristine/appud.html - for OS software http://www.lowendmac.com/sw.html for links to stuff http://www.mac.org/ has old software archived for download http://www.versiontracker.com/macos/updByCat.php is the place for OS8/9 software
Your friend is pretty much on his/her own, but lowendmac.com seems to be the place to learn about how to run an older mac. Best of luck.
