What hardware is supported by startBackground and startForeground?

The Session-Based Interface of the Data Acquisition Toolbox has two functions that interest me, startBackground and startForeground, but I can't find any hardware that can actually use them (or their related functions such as addlistener). Is there anywhere I can find a list of compatible hardware? The only list I could find is the following one, which doesn't tell you which functions work with each device:

Supported Hardware - National Instruments- NI-DAQmx

I'm running 64-bit R2013a with version 3.3 (R2013a) of the Data Acquisition Toolbox. I just need to monitor a single digital input (TTL, 5 V) for change with an acceptable delay of about 1 ms.

I believe I've found the answer to my question, thanks to the assistance of a Matlab employee. When you look at the specifications page of an NI device, it should say "Hardware" (not "Software") under "Timing". So for example, Matlab is able to run clocked sampling on the PCIe-6535B. Some CompactDAQ modules such as the 9201 also work, though I'm not sure how to tell from their specifications whether they will or will not work. I simulated both of these in NI MAX, though, and was able to use clocked operations with them.
