Dear Kaj,
Jim was mostly correct. You will have to setup a annotation package for
your bovine chip, but don't worry, you can use Affymetrix' annotation files
to get it done using AnnotationForge. For your Rhesus chip you could try to
use the org.Mmu.eg.db or rhesus.db0 packages, but will need to convert your
probesets into some gene/transcript identifier first using Affymetrix'
annotations. Your mouse data can be used directly using one of the
mogene10* annotation packages, as Jim already pointed out.

Your approach involves some work, but is definitely possible.

Cheers,
Andreas
