I wouldn't recommend learning assembly on the 8080 or 8086. These systems are register-poor, which makes programming on them frustrating. Instead, try ARM or perhaps MIPS. If you learn ARM, you'll probably end up programming at a higher level on it in the future. On second thought, learn assembly language for a platform you can run it on. If you only have x86, learn 8086.
