Hi list,
while researching the "16-base" meaning,
I stumbled over some original Kodak sites.
They reveiled facts I did not know:
"KODAK Photo CD hardware and software are discontinued.
Photo CD-related information and some software downloads
remain available online for those Kodak customers who
wish to continue using their Photo CD products.
However, Kodak no longer services or supports this system."

My local drugstore discount photo finishers
still offer an optional PhotoCD at approx. 5 EUR
if you order it right away with processing
and a set of regular prints.
Seems the machines are still doing their thing.
And their explanation of "Base(s)":

Base/16 128 x 192 0.07
Base/4 256 x 384 0.28

16 Base 2048 x 3072 18.00
64 Base 4096 x 6144 72.00
(optional)
Suitable for...
Base/16 -- Index print of image (thumbnail view).

(base image is too large when rotated).

4 Base -- High-definition television display (HDTV).

("Final"); highest resolution on a Photo CD Master Disc.
