Is "DOS 2" meant to say DOS 2.x including DOS 2.5 mentioned above?

At least the doc seems to imply it.

Ah, I thought I had understood that PicoDOS was "only" a bootloader
for programs not doing disk I/O on their own. If the Atari cc65 C

Good guess - but actually not *that* hard ;-))

I found the other day by chance http://www.atari8ethernet.com/ and
thought that this project justifies an "official" port.

I know !

Thanks for the offer - will do :-)
