Lessee. To disable extensions hold down the SHIFT key while booting until
you see the message. That'll let you play with your INITs (renamed
extensions in 7.0). I'm using a new extension manager that's still in Alpha
test, myself. Aask also (from what I've been told) works.

Fortune II;

dunno

>32-bit QuickDraw 1.2;

7.0 should have a version if it's not built in.

CEToolbox 1.2;

Current version is 1.5.1i -- works fine under 7.0b4 (so does Disktop 4.0.1
and the Disktop extras, so DT Launch works).

CPSDeleteTracking 2.1; DFaultD 2.03; 

dunno

>DiskTop.Extras 1.0;

Works fine (see above)

>InUse 2.0; MacEnvy 2.0;

I've seen InUse work. I assume MacEnvy should.

>MacsBug 6.2a4;

I'm using 6.2 final. Works fine.

>Magic Menu 2.0; 

Dunno. Doubt it.

>Mr. Bus Error;

What's this?

>Pyro 3.3.1;

Pyro 4.? works. 

>Quote INIT 2.0; SCSI Tools 1.0;

Dunno. Scsiprobe does work, though.

>SFScrollInit;

You're using this AND Boomerang? Not a good idea.

>SFVolInit 1.5;

Ditto -- doesn't this duplicate boomerang functionality?

>Suitcase II 1.2.8;

Works with 1.2.9.

>SuperClock 3.9;

Works fine.

>Temperament 2.0;

dunno. 

>Boomerang 2.0;

Super Boomerang 2.0.3 works just great. Boomie doesn't and probably won't. 
Time to pay for the real thing...

>Facade 1.0.1; Disinfectant INIT 2.4.

Facade is pretty much obsolete, since 7.0 lets you change the icons. Virus
inits are probably going to hae to be upgraded.
