Well, in all fairness, what you are now claiming is that Intel ripped
off DEC IP when designing PCI. That is not the same thing as claiming
that DEC designed PCI themselves.
I have not really looked into details on TURBOchannel compared to PCI to
say if they are related in some way, but they are definitely not
identical. So PCI did originate within Intel, and the Wikipedia article
is correct (and even if you point fingers at Wikipedia for various
issues about money and whatnot, you most of the time do have source
references that can be checked, and which are not fabricated by Wikipedia.)
And yes, Intel certainly ripped off DEC IP a couple of times, so I would
not be surprised if this turns out to be another example. But DEC did
not design PCI.

To me it sounds as if you are saying that DEC did/designed PCI.
Are you sure about that? As far as I know, PCI was designed and created
by Intel, and the first users were just plain PC machines.
Work on PCI began at Intel's Architecture Development Lab c. 1990.
