I tried what you recommended:

> library(affy)

Welcome to Bioconductor

  'openVignette()'. To cite Bioconductor, see
  'citation("Biobase")' and for packages 'citation(pkgname)'.

[1] FALSE

background correction: mas
PM/MM correction : mas
expression values: mas
background correcting...Error in as.vector(data) : NAs in foreign
function call (arg 2)

So, no NA values in my data.
