Kaypro 2 vs. Kaypro II

I just picked up a Kaypro 2 (with several missing keys) at one of the
local Salvation Army stores.

It won't recognize my Kaypro II disks, and it takes longer to come up with
the "I cannot read your diskette" message than the Kaypro II does (when I
shove MS-DOS disks in them).

Is the Kaypro 2 broken, or does it use a different disk format from the
Kaypro II? I notice that the startup message is different, so they must
have different ROM revisions.

What are the differences (other than the obvious cosmetic differences)
between these two models?

Thanks.
