I'm not from Symantec, but the reason is that SUM tries to put its partitioning
driver in the first available desk accessory slot.  Under 7.0, with no
DAs in the System file, it puts its driver in the first slot.  Most desk
accessories under system 7.0 also try to use this slot (they don't conflict
because they are in different parititions), and thus they fail.  It is possible
to patch SUM partition to use a different slot.  (sorry, don't have the patch
with me at the moment)
