Yes, SS works. I have an A4000/030EC. Works well... (not fine) but well.
You just can't use the virutal memory option in the Mac Control Panels.
BTW, you may need MORE than 8MB RAM to run SS. Mac System takes up between
1.5 to almost 3MB RAM. You need about 1.5 or 2 MB on amiga side to keep
things running. Most Mac programs nowadays need an average of 4 -6 MB RAM
to run. Let's not even TALK about Photoshop!!! :)

All the best!
