The file formats are different.  They are similar enough that FileMaker II
can understand the general structure, but the new features added into FileMaker Pro
required changes in the way the information was stored.  FileMaker Pro 2.0 will
have an even newer file format. 

You could get the data back into FileMaker II format by exporting it from
FileMaker Pro, and then importing it into a FileMaker II file.  Unfortunately,
this would not transfer the layout information, etc., but it would transfer
the data.
