I have the ndf file and using the library makePlatformDesign, I've created the appropriate package. The oligo function read.xysfiles creates an ExpressionFeatureSet object which is incompatible for fitPLM. I've tried to convert the ftr files to Affy CEL file format, in which case I could use function ReadAffy to create an AffyBatch object. but presumably the NDF file also has to converted to CDF format??
