Actually, you can hook the 6091's to 43P's.  You won't see bootup
messages, but once the windowing system starts they work fine.  I had
about half a dozen 43P's configured like this in the mid-90's.

6091's are neat: they autoselect sync on green, composite sync or separate
sync and are extremely tweakable internally.  I've run them on just about
every flavor of Unix workstation out there at one time or another.
