Open the ascii file in wordpad, or notepad and change everything that mentions 8.0 to whichever version you're using.

I had to do it to go back to 6.5 from 8.5 while I await a new PSU..

Example:

//Maya ASCII 8.0 scene
//Name: camel85to65.ma
//Last modified: Sat, Sep 15, 2007 03:17:38 PM
//Codeset: 1252
requires maya "8.0";
requires "Mayatomr" "8.5.1.3m - 3.5.6.7 ";
requires "maxwell" "1.0.16";
currentUnit -l foot -a degree -t film;
fileInfo "application" "maya";
fileInfo "product" "Maya Unlimited 8.0";
fileInfo "version" "8.0";
fileInfo "cutIdentifier" "200612162224-692032";
fileInfo "osv" "Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2 (Build 2600)\n";


change all those 8.0's to whichever version you use

I went from 85 to 65 and it worked fine, and you should then be able to save it as a .ma or whatever you wish to from there.

fileInfo "application" "maya";
fileInfo "product" "Maya Unlimited 6.5";
fileInfo "version" "6.5";
