Okay, first off, it's 8086, not 80x86.

Second, assembly dialects are so radically different from one another (because they are processor-specific) that it would almost be like learning two completely different languages. To make matters worse, it is extremely difficult to translate 8086 assembly to 68K assembly because not only are they entirely different processors, but they are also used for computers that have absolutely nothing in common (Intel 8086 chips were used for IBM computers running off of MS-DOS or similar, and MC68000 chips were used for a variety of macs that are, to my knowledge, are no longer in production). For now, I'd recommend using the Source Guru (or whatever it is) that translates TI-86 assembly to 68K.

Sorry about that.
