Actually EF 4.0 supports SQL Server 2000. It's the Database Explorer in Visual Studio 2010 that does not support SQL Server 2000. To work around this, don't use the Database Explorer. Instead just create an Empty model then overwrite the connection string in the config file with your SQL Server 2000 connection string. Then you can use Update Model From Database in the EF designer to add your objects.
