ExOS was released by the german paper magazine 64'er in the December issue of 1986. It was published as a ROM patch which copied the original C64 Kernal to $2000 and patched it there. The reader was supposed to use a monitor to save the new ROM using a monitor then. The ROM is simply burned to an 8k eprom and added to the C64 using a kernal switching board then. ExOS does not require a change on the drive ROM.
