Linqpad and Sybase ASE
Options
We're migrating from ASE 15 to SQL Server, but we still have a need to query the old databases for awhile yet. Is there a (relatively) easy way to use Linqpad with ASE? I thought about using EF5 but in order to get Entity Framework connections working with Linqpad it seems to require us to install at least Visual Studio Express.

There's no native LINQPad driver for Sybase, so EF is your only option AFAIK.

and in order to use Linqpad with EF, users need to have some kind of Visual Studio installed?

You need some way to create the typed DataContext. Visual Studio is the easiest way to do that. Although it doesn't have to be on the same machine.
