The oligo package has some functions to deal with these chips, but is in 
a developmental stage right now. In addition, you will need a 64 bit 
operating system and lots of RAM to work with any number of these chips.

As for BRLMM, this method AFAIK is only implemented currently in 
software that you can get from Affymetrix. If it is anything like their 
EXACT software you will need to do some work to get it set up, and it 
will likely require lots of RAM as well.

Best,

Jim
