The major differences that I have found are the following bugs:
DOS3.2 restore doesn't seem to work.  Therefore the entire backup/restore
  package isn't distributed with the system.
It is very finicky about ^S/^Q; if you follow a ^S with anything else, the
  machine may lock up on you, requiring a cold boot.
There is a problem with some programs in dealing with something in the way
  they have implemented the stack register (I think).  Anyway, some programs,
  notably Procomm 2.4.2, will occassionally lock up under <ctrl><break>.  There
  is a fix avail. for Procomm.

Please note that my experiences with these are PC DOS3.1 and Kaypro's version
of MS-DOS 3.2.  I don't know how many of these bugs are specific to Kaypros,
though I don't think any of them are, it is a VERY compatible machine.
