Some of the people at Student Doctor Network forum had the great suggestion to make a sample DAT deck. I put together a sample deck of 50 cards. It is available here:

 

http://www.study-shack.com/DAT-anki-sample.zip

 

To open it:
1) Download the zip file
2) Extract it to some folder (like My Documents)
3) In Anki, go to File -> Open and navigate to the folder you extracted the .zip to. Double click the file DATsample.anki

Some of the cards contain LaTeX, and thus will give an error when viewed if LaTeX needs to be installed (will say something about a dvipeng error). To install LaTeX (some of this is Windows specific):

1) Go here (http://www.latex-project.org/ftp.html) and choose your operating system
2) Download and run the file
3) Extract the contents to some directory like C:/Latex
4) Navigate to the directory and run setup.exe
5) Scroll down and click "Click here to install MiKTEX" and "Click here to install TEXnicCenter"
6) Install both of the above components

This is a one time install and should be pretty painless. Again, only some of the cards contain LaTeX and will show an error. I highly recommend going through the steps to install it though.

The purpose of the deck is only to show various card models and some good ways to put information into Anki. All the information is found on Wikipedia or are examples I made.
