[BioC] Error in qc.affy(unnormalised, ...) : I'm sorry, I do not know about chip type: moe430acdf

[Dick Beyer]

I am getting an error when I try the simpleaffy routine qc() on a set of moe430a chips.

exp1.all.raw <- ReadAffy(widget=T)
exp1.all.raw
AffyBatch object
size of arrays=712x712 features (51493 kb)
cdf=MOE430A (22690 affyids)
number of samples=13
number of genes=22690
annotation=moe430a

exp1.mas5 <- call.exprs(exp1.all.raw,"mas5")
qc        <- qc(exp1.all.raw,exp1.mas5)
Error in qc.affy(unnormalised, ...) : I'm sorry, I do not know about chip type: moe430acdf

qc.affy calls haveQCParams, but haveQCParams shows:
> rownames(get("alpha", envir = .qcEnv))
  [1] "atgenomecdf"    "ath1121501cdf"  "drosgenome1cdf" "hcg110cdf"      "hgfocuscdf"
  [6] "hgu133acdf"     "hgu133a2cdf"    "hgu133atagcdf"  "hgu133bcdf"     "hgu133plus2cdf"
[11] "hgu95acdf"      "hgu95av2cdf"    "hgu95bcdf"      "hgu95ccdf"      "hgu95dcdf"     
[16] "hgu95ecdf"      "mgu74acdf"      "mgu74av2cdf"    "mgu74bcdf"      "mgu74bv2cdf"   
[21] "mgu74ccdf"      "mgu74cv2cdf"    "mouse4302cdf"   "mouse430acdf"   "mouse430a2cdf" 
[26] "mouse430b2cdf"  "mu11ksubacdf"   "mu11ksubbcdf"   "rae230acdf"     "rae230bcdf"    
[31] "rgu34acdf"      "rgu34bcdf"      "rgu34ccdf"      "ygs98cdf"       "zebrafishcdf"  
[36] "rat2302cdf"

so qc() is expecting mouse430a, instead, it gets moe430a.

I remember some discussion of this issue some time ago, but was unable to find it in the mail archives.

Thanks very much for any help or suggestions.
