DOM Main Board Rev 4

Changes

The list of changes from Rev 3 to Rev 4 is rather long and  quite detailed, however, in the sense of convergence to a final design, the changes are quite minimal.   The Rev 3 changes were so extensive that a new run with the autorouter was required because of the high number of changes in connectivity in a congested part of the board.  The Rev 4 changes are so few that they can probably be done only 'by hand.'
