Someone recently challenged me to design a USB interface for an
IBM 3420. If I ever actually find one, I will attempt it.

I'm
right there with you. I use emulators all the time, but they
are not the end-all/be-all of classic computing. I think a lot of
people don't realize that there is value (historic value, fun,
personal satisfaction, etc) in the hardware as well. For me, and
probably you as well, it's more about the hardware than anything
else.
For me, it was the peripherals more than the CPU. Fewer people
collect ancient mainframe peripherals, I think.
