Direct addressing mode means the operand address is contained in the instruction. In the 8085, an example is LDA 1234H, which loads the accumulator with the contents of memory location 1234H. In the 8086/8088, an example is MOV AL,[1234H], which accomplishes nearly the same thing.
Indirect addressing mode means the operand address is contained in a register. In the 8085, an example is LDAX B, which loads the accumulator with the contents of the memory location specified in register BC. In the 8086/8088, an example is MOV AL,[BX], which accomplishes nearly the same thing.
