Narrative:
At 80 KTS on our takeoff roll the master warning light and warning horn with the EICAS message of 'take off config' in red and underneath it 'flap drive' came on. The flap indicator on the EICAS was expanded and had the outboard trailing flaps in yellow and inboard in white. The six led were all green. I aborted the takeoff by 90 KTS and rejected takeoff engaged. I disengaged rejected takeoff by 70 KTS and had plenty of runway left even before we exited. We told tower we had aborted the take off and made a PA to the cabin to remain seated. We taxied back to the gate and left the flaps down where we had positioned them for take off (10 degrees).
