"The oscillator section in the 208 module can be seen as a rest stop on the way between the 258 and the 259. The "timbre" section is introduced as well as a switch to select waveforms. It's the first time Don implemented a dedicated modulation oscillator and trimmed keyboard CV inputs.
Interestingly, the original version of the 208 used a totally different design than the 258 or the 259, with Vactrols in the oscillator core. I don't know how many of these were made, but it was fazed out in favor of the 259-like design you can find schematics for on the web."
Also see Musings on Voltage Processors.
The 259 has a ton of vactrols as well. Not sure how much else differed.
