It was present in all two wheel Minolta SLRs since Xi series from the begining of around 1990... However it is not as flexible and well thought out as Pentax version. First - it is reset to program when camera goes to sleep (metering is switched off) second, it won't work when you use flash. And of course as you mentioned there's no way to reset to P by single button - you could do it probably only by opening, then closing built-in flash and there are no program lines as in Pentax.
