If these CD's havn't been created with Packet Writing software my guess 
is that your Mitsumi drives don't like that brand of media. You could 
try a firmware upgrade to the drives (unlikely to fix, do at your own 
risk), or just steer clear of that brand. Maybe even try giving the cd's 
a clean with a bit of soapy water and pad dry on a clean cloth, I've had 
cd's,DVD's that wouldn't read and it's suprising what a bit of a clean 
will do. If you ever wipe a CD use motions across the cd, not around it, 
less likely to create a scratch that will confuse the Laser. If the 
datas important get a mate to copy them to a different brand media on 
his machine and then try that.

If they are Packet Written, you probably just need to install Packet 
Reading software (check whats installed on the work computer)
