I think so. Try it. If it isn't the right CD the installer will let you
know. If it lists any Mac models on the CD label (other than PB5300 which
shouldn't exist) then it won't work.

I have OS 8.6 running on my PB5300C and I like it. It was a bit tight on
memory with 32Mb (but still worked well). I've just upgraded to 64Mb and
that seems like enough. When I upgrade the HD I'm going to try OS 9.1 just
to see if it will be worth it.
