I don't know of any commercial software that supports the 400 line mode.
Getting QuickDraw to support it properly is very nontrivial.

For a quick cheap Prodos-8 only demo, FTP to tybalt.caltech.edu
[131.215.139.100], login anonymous / any password, cd pub/apple2/demos
and grab voc400linedemo.bsq. Don't even have GS/OS loaded when you run
it or bad things will happen.

I can type up my current programming notes on the VOC if you want them.

More useful software that exploits the VOC 400 line mode is coming soon
(the program that comes with the Lord High Giffer will be able to display
pictures using the VOC 400 line mode).
