EISA question

Am I nuts or is it possible to use 8 and 16 bit ISA cards in an EISA
slot? This is my first hardware level adventure with an EISA machine and
right now it has EISA controllers and open slots, that I would love to
put certain ISA cards (sound for one) into but while I'm reasonably
sure, I don't want to risk blowing anything up. I've been under the
understanding that EISA was backward compatible with ISA.
