I don't see a HG-U295 chip on the Affy website, but I do see a HG-U219. 
Is that a typo on your part?

If not, can you give a link to the correct webpage?

I have built cdf and probe packages for the HG-U219 chip, but note that 
these will only work with the affy and affyPLM packages. Since the chips 
are PM-only, they won't work with simpleaffy, and will require some work 
on your part to get to work with gcrma, if at all.

Best,

Jim
