[BioC] The mis-match platform read by bioconductor --> MOE430B

[bmb at bmbolstad.com]

At least one of your files purports to be 430A since ReadAffy() gets this
information also directly from the CEL files. In particular, it looks at
the first CEL file for its type and then checks subsequent CEL files to
see if they have this same type.

Best,

Ben
