No. We build the cdf package for this chip (1.0) using the unsupported 
cdf file that affy supplies. They have never to my knowledge offered an 
unsupported version of the 1.1 chip, so we don't have a cdf package.

You can however use some functions from the aroma.affymetrix project to 
create a cdf if you are feeling adventurous 
(https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/bioconductor/2010-December/036730.html).

But you should really be using either oligo or xps to analyze these 
chips. The affy package was never intended for these chips, and there 
are real reasons not to use it.

Best,

Jim
