According to the datasheet, the POTX, POTY trigger voltage is Vcc/2

The AVR data sheet gives a hysterisis of about .13V at 5V Vcc
The AVR datasheet also gives the minimum gauranteed hi as .6 Vcc
so if the SID discharges the cap as soon as the cap hits a trigger
voltage of .5 Vcc it may not get high enough for the AVR to recognize.
