A 650 is a 650 no matter what card it's on.  All programming of the
registers takes place on the UART, not the card.  Perhaps you are
doing something else wrong.

I have 650's on a Byterunner card working with my ISDN at 230k.  SIO
programs the UART with a value of "1" which is 115,200 for a 1x clock,
but 230,400 for a 2x clock.  The clock is controlled by a jumper on
the card and SIO doesn't care.  It only cares about writing the value
"1" to the appropriate UART register.

There is more to the story because of the clock selection bit in the
650 UART, but the details should be irrelevant for your purposes.
