Thanks a lot Exit_Failure.
Let me be doomed ! I already put it once but obviously made a mistake while typing, I've being more careful this time and it works
It even shows "App 51 avail : not installed" and so on for all the app ID possible. Mission succeeded !
I've also calibrated it and it passed all the self-test. Victory !
Here is a mega link for TiN's win98 image, tested and working on his TDS7104 and my TDS7054 :

- First, be sure that the TDS computer has a working BIOS. In my case, the 7-segment display was going up to "L" and stopped there.
- Buy a replacement IDE HDD, or anything else that could work. In my case, I use a 16GB SD Card and an SD Card to IDE adapter, it fits in the little HDD drawer without much trouble.
- Download the win98 .img file to a working computer
- Use a software like WinImage or Balena Etcher to burn the image to the replacement drive. You can open .img file with WinImage, it will work, that's what I did.
- Eject the replacement drive from your modern computer and plug it into the scope.
- It should work right away, just wait for it to tell you "wait for your TDS7000 series scope to boot into windows"
- You'll certainly be asked a password to enter the network. It is not mandatory, just use the touchscreen and click on "okay". Windows does not have your keyboard or mouse drivers yet, so you'll have to have a working touchscreen before. I could redo the image if needed, just shoot me a PM.
If the computer fails to boot into windows right away, you can try to use the KILLCMOS program to force it to enter the setup. You are not forced to use floppy disks, even though that's way easier. In my case, I used Serva to establish a LAN connection with the computer, FreeDOS 1.2 to boot into a command line and the KILLCMOS program to reset the BIOS parameters.
Hopefully this might help other people
