few days back i ordered the 1TH/s Black box and today i was doing some search about it just to be ready when it arrives, then i came accross this link with some very surprising description:
http://coinhash.co/products/1-th-s-dragonminer-1000gh-s-coincraft-a1-28nm-asic-chip-bitcoin-miner-not-knc

Did you know you can simultaneously mine Altcoins using SHA-256, the same hashing algorithm as Bitcoin using this AntMiner? Here's a list of just a few!

    NMC – Namecoin
    PPC – Peercoin
    DVC – Devcoin
    TRC – Terracoin
    BTE – Bytecoin
    IXC – Ixcoin
    I0C – I0coin
    FRC – Freicoin
    ASC -AsicCoin
    DEM – Deutsche eMark
    PT – Platinum Coin
    BLC – Blakecoin

any though about this claim?
is it a firmware update ?
because my miner is exactly the same.

Yes, you can use your SHA-256 miner to mine any coin that uses the SHA-256 Proof of Work algorithm. That does not include Litecoin, since Litecoin uses Scrypt as it's PoW algorithm.

Right. It's called merged mining, and you can do it for any sha-256 based coin that supports merged mining (which the list in the op is pretty accurate). Not Litecoin or any scrypt based alt coin.
