the JAG can work as a logic module--just patch two gates into the X/Y and you get:
6: AND 2: NOR
the other outputs give some funky/attenuated variations as well you can get different logic from the jag outputs by attenuating the inputs or inverting the outputs. (i always thought to do this but never patched it up until tonight, so i thought id jot it down)
