There is an optional number pad that daisy chains with the keyboard. I
think that has arrow keys on it. You could also use a Mac Plus keyboard
which has arrow keys and number pad built-in. At least I think it is
compatible with the 512K. It certainly would be if it is a 512K Enhanced
with the 800K floppy.

A couple of common problems with those are overheating due to the lack of a
fan, fractured solder joints where the cable connectors are soldered to the
powersupply board, and gummy grease making the 400K floppy drives stick.
