Well you put it in 

 <????>Miktex 2.8\fonts\map\ascii\

I guess this is the main root of miktex

Comments:
1. You actually shouldn't put manually files in the main root. There
is always the danger that they get lost at updates. 

Better use a local root. 
That means 
- create somewhere (outside miktex) a folder e.g. Kenneth_texmf. 
- Then put the files in this folder. Eg. the tfm in
Kenneth_texmf\fonts\tfm\ascii. 
- Then add Kenneth_texmf as a new root in miktex settings.

2. If you put files in main root of miktex you must update the FNDB
in admin mode. 

3. I don't know if fonts\map\ascii works, I think yes but you can
also try fonts\map\dvips\ascii. (Don't forget to to update the FNDB
at best run "initexmf -u" *and* "initexmf --admin -u". 

As you now have run updmap (= initexmf --mkmaps) in user mode once
you should always do it. The local map files will from now on take
precedence. 

If still don't work after you moved the map, recreated the FNDB and
rerun updmap, sent me the log-files of the pdflatex run and of
updmap.log per mail along with a list of the *exact* pathes of
ascii.map and the updmap.cfg where you added the "Map ascii.map"
entry.
