AFAIK, the manufacturer of the oligonucleotide arrays you are using is
shipping a CD-ROM along with the stuff it sold. CDF files can be found there.

Since a recent time, one can download many data files for the manufacturer's
website. This CDF file is one of them I think.

We do not distribute CDF files since we are not sure we are allowed to do so.

The file you mention is to be used with a package called affyR (prior to the
Bioconductor time). It is possible to convert the data formats for CDF from
affyR to affy. This is let as a (long) exercise to the reader.

No and yes (note: answer(first part) == not(answer(second part)), right ? ;)  )
