We did have one in the store I played with a good bit, though.

New Home is now Janome. Doubt they make it anymore unless is outside the U.S.
Some machines today do have the same capability and in fact was just discussed the other day. My Babylock Ellisimo has a sidecutter device which provides the same thing, a 2 stitch overlock. Not worth setting up if you have a serger, which I do.

Boy! I'd love to know more.
