Using 100mm/2.8 USM on older EOS Body no AF

I just purchased a 100mm/2.8 USM Macro lens. Works perfectly on my 6D. It does not respond at all on my film EOS A2. I have three other EF lenses, 17-40 L, 28-135 IS and 70-300 IS. All of these other lenses work fine with my film EOS A2. Does anybody know why?

Battery indicator shows good and all my zooms work fine on old A2

Thanks for your thoughts 

Does the camera display F/00 as the aperture in the viewfinder. Or does it display the actual aperture.

Bodies: EOS 5D Mark IV
Lenses: EF Trinity, EF 85mm F/1.8 USM
Retired Gear: EOS 40D, EF 50mm F/1.8 STM & EF 70-210mm F/4
Speedlites: 420EX, 470EX-AI, 550EX & 600EX II-RT

Was suspect that was the cause since lens worked fine on 6D and other zooms worked on A2. Just re-handled everything and 100mm now works good on A2. I bellive the body pins on the A2 were the culprit. Thanks
