I don't believe Serato have made drivers available I'm afraid.
 
Wiz, Check your PM, I answered your inquiry. Rane has discussed allowing an update for the SL3 so it will work with 3rd party software but they haven't said when nor do they guarantee anything. This topic has been asked countless times here and on the Serato forums and the other DJ forums.

Right now only the SL1 will work as a soundcard for VDJ...

The SL1 Box only shows up with Windows.. Not mac. It will show up as 4X4 soundcard

The SL3 uses a proprietary driver that has many performance and stability advantages over a CoreAudio or ASIO solution. They might discuss about maybe allowing third parties to use the sl3 as a soundcard... But, i dont think they will change the way its currently working. Serato has strick standards.
 
THey said about the SL3 agaes ago but it was just bull shit, as a result I got rid of mine.
 
I support that statement cause I heard Djs complaining about SL3,but my friend Wiz you got a mac book(awesome),but you need to sell the SL3 since you're still going to use VDJ(the greatest software on the planet earth) then buy yourself a pair of denon 3700, I am rocking the main parish Kingston and you need to mash up West side of Jamaica,I think you could easily map your buttons in midi for your video effects,and do alot of tricks with videos. I also heard that Macbook +VDJ+denon 3700 is the BOMB.
 
Or MacBook Pro i7, Pioneer CDJ-400, DJM-800 & VDJ... another killer combo which is what I'm using. No mapping necessary...

@ DJ Raymond.. The Denons 3700's Really rock. After i got rid of my CDJ 1000 mk3's and bought these decks, I didnt regret it. Denon 3700's + Macbook pro + Pioneer DJM 700 Mixer with Virtual DJ = Rocking down the house..
