Nice. Might be interesting to try ctx.scale(0.9,1) or whatever ratio approximates the pixel shape on the Amiga in that video mode...would square up the shape of the floppy.

Thanks for the suggestion -- I changed it to use the 11:13 ratio documented for NTSC at http://amigadev.elowar.com/read/ADCD_2.1/AmigaMail_Vol2_guid... (apparently PAL pixels are actually square).

Added to mine. Experimentally, it looks like a 4:3 ratio makes the floppy come out square, which lines up with expectations.
