I don't think Convert 3200 has any specific support of the Video
Overlay Card.  I do know that SuperConvert does support the VOC,
though.  SuperConvert allows you to view images in 320x400 or 640x400
interlaced mode.

I think the "crappy" images you get when viewing 3200 colour images is
probably the same I've run into.  I notice it most often when playing
The Tinies, which uses 3200 colour images between every 10 levels.

I was told, by Mitch Spector if I recall correctly, that to fix the
problem you just need to plug a cable between the motherboard
composite video out and the VOC's composite video in.  Apparently the
VOC isn't synchronizing correctly with the software that is changing
the colours on the fly and by hooking up that cable you are
synchronizing the VOC with the motherboard VGC thereby synchronizing
the VOC with the software through an indirect route.

Enough rambling, just hook up the cable and you should be okay.  :-)
