There is nothing special about the TNC-2 when it comes to KISS mode...

 The KISS ("Keep It Simple, Stupid") TNC provides direct computer to TNC communication using a
simple protocol described here. Many TNCs now implement it, including the TAPR TNC-1 and TNC-2 (and
their clones), the venerable VADCG TNC, the AEA PK-232/PK-87 and all TNCs in the Kantronics line

It is possible that  the TNC-1 firmware is an version without KISS...
