Your data *is* in the correct format at this point. You should be able 
to simply do

MAplot(Data)

to get the MA plot(s). Note that this function plots each chip versus a 
pseudo-median chip, so it may not be what you are expecting. If you want 
MA plots for all possible comparisons, you should use the mva.pairs() 
function. Note that this function expects a matrix of data, so you will 
have to first extract the PM or MM data using the pm() accessor function.

mva.pairs(pm(Data))

HTH,

Jim
