a bitcoin ASIC can mine any coin that is SHA256

How would one go about using the Bitcoin ASIC to mine the alt coin also based on SHA256?

You have to use pool which allow mining alt coins

Not true, I have been solo mining Zetacoin with my erupters. -o 127.0.0.1:port

only with upto about 5GH then it shit its pants already tried to solo mine this stuff with 88GH with and just spits out stales so good luck trying with more hash power

I was only mining with a few Erupters...I have since moved back to mmpool.

You can mine them, meaning that cgminer will allow you to try to use the wrong hashing algorithm to mine the coins, but it is impossible for something hashing SHA256 to successfully solve a block on a network with a different hashrate. CGminer will display your hashrate and everything, but you will never find a block.

You are talking about using a SHA-256 asic on scrypt I assume?

I have found almost 1000 Zetacoin blocks solo as Zetacoin is an altcoin with a SHA-256 algorithm.

I also had no issues mining ZET with my erupters, and only Solo. I mined more than 1M of them in a few days, sold them all too. Very nice coin for mining.
